Hope you are all well.
So with all that's going on I haven't driven the old truck for a while. Yesterday I went for a ride and noticed a bad gear grind when I put it into reverse. First was a bit "hard" to get into as well, No issues with 2nd or 3rd.
Clutch master and slave are working . I tried adjusting the shift rods but it made no difference still grinding. Then it happened.... the trany gets stuck I am unable to shift at all.
Today I removed the rods, the old hurst floor shifter is jammed but so is the tired old 3 speed I am unable to move either of the shift arms.
Any ideas?
