<VV> Oh Crap! Zero Speed transmission....

[Dennis Pleau]

It sounds like you just made a clutch alignment tool out of your input shaft!  

You got to feel positive about everything these days.

Hi guys- I think I just screwed the pooch big time.... 

I started up my 65 with a 4-speed the other day, and since I was 

planning on crawling under to do some exhaust work soon, I 

decided to go ahead and run it up on the ramps. 



So I put the ramps in place, shift into reverse, give it a little gas and 

let the clutch out (up). 



There was a strange little crunching/grinding noise and now I've got a 

no-speed transmission. 



Won't go forward or backward in any gear- and I can shift thru the gears 

with the motor running with out pressing the clutch pedal w/ no grinding. 



What did I kill? 



I'm thinking input shaft broken or stripped.... 



Please tell me there's a simpler fix!
