Take a break and come back to it, least a 4speed is easy to pull
Hope it's something simple.

Throw-out bearing?Take a break and come back to it, least a 4speed is easy to pull

Usually if it's a throw out bearing you will hear it change as you push the pedal in and out, but anything is possible, once you pull the trans if it's the throw-out you will feel it not spin smoothly for sure.

Clutch, pp, flywheel, bearing, came out of my other car, long story, but there was nothing wrong with it at all, not many miles, everything was in fine shape.
A friend, who knows A833s, said it's the input shaft bearing, if I have that correct.
He's rebuilding another trans for me, did one for me 2 years ago.
I hate pulling trans, I had to pull that garbage A855 three times, complete junk.
So it's trans out this weekend, fun.

Working on getting trans out.
Only part left is dropping it out, bought some threaded rod to put in the lower bellhousing holes to guide it.
Seems it will have to be tilted a bit more than I wanted, not sure if loosening the engine mounts will help relieve stress on the mounts, or not work at all as that will not provide all that much wiggle room.

Yes, loosening mounts will help it tip back. So will a floor jack and a block of wood on the balancer. Good luck.
Ah, I mistook what you were saying. Yes, definitely loosen the bolts so they will rotate rather than stretch.

I got the trans back in and had to modify the header collectors, cut/weld/fit/etc.
Later that night, I realized I put the pipes on upside down.
I couldn't stop laughing at myself, not even upset.
So I spent the next weekend putting the exhaust together, again.
Finished fabbing/installing the door panels too, what a difference.

Our first official outing in it, couple parks next to us, guy gets out, "Wow, this will be nice when it's done!"
"It's done." I said, "It's not going to get much more done than this, but thanks anyway."

I swapped out the mile long b-body Hurst knuckle buster handle, especially in reverse on the heater controls, for a 68 a-body handle.
It's near perfect, could use an extra inch, so I think a trip to the hardware store will solve that, threaded sleeve/rod.
Anyone else use a different handle that works well?
