Mixed news. Part 1. Loosened a bolt in front of the gear shifter and a second behind the shifter. Along with wd40, This released the binding and now rods/shifter move independently. (Video) These two bolts are very loose and any tightening binds the shifting lever 2nd and 3rd move together. Part 2. Clutch fully depressed still grinding - no shifting while engine is running. Engine off, all shifting is good. If I tighten the clutch cable further, the throw out bearing will be pressed against the pressure plate. New clutch disk and cable may be on the horizon. Yup, looking at your snaps I notice my bearings appear to be missing. Wondering if the Letter Kenney rebuild has anything to do with that? P.s. Not realizing the trans was in first gear, the differential was in neutral and I pressed the clutch and tried to engage the drive. It went into low and the Weasel jumped forward. Heart skipped a beat, ha. Had my M37 parked directly in front and gave it a love tap. Happy it moved though. 20240711_183746.mp4

Thank you, OZM29C. I ordered it and should get it by July 23rd as the seller is away until July 16th. I see what you mean regarding it's access., but at least I've got some direction. Greatly appreciate your feedback.

Reverse and 1st shifting is good. 2nd and 3rd both rods move. So apart from not going into any gear with engine on, shifting is a little wacky. ?? 20240709_182823.mp4 20240709_183209.mp4 20240709_204616.mp4 20240709_205057.mp4

Oh my goodness, OZM29C, I'm very grateful for you taking time to answer while on your cruise! I'll give it a go with cable disconnected. What is in the video is clutch cable movement. When clutch pedal is depressed, the lever only moves about 1/4 inch. I can feel the throw out bearing lock but perhaps still not enough pressure to disengage the disc? All good things to try, TY!!

First off, thank you for all your help. I tried 3rd gear with pedal to the floor, shaft doesn't move. Here is what I have. (Videos) Clutch lever seems it should move alot more. 20240706_192553.mp4 20240706_192054.mp4

Working on a '55 LKY rebuild so some originality is gone. Carb and fuel linkage for example. Here it is. I took the top off, all seemed OK adjusting float we'll see? Zenith 1 brl. I'll try getting the idle stable and then move forward to electrical and clutch. Thanks.

Greetings all. Here's a short clip shared for any input. 1. Carb adjust needle all but closed- idling a little high. Idled 700-ish on stand. 2. Attempting to place in gear and grinding as if no clutch is engaged. Adjusted cable per manual but when pressing pedal the cable/lever moves 1/2 inch or so. New throwout bearing from Studey Intrnt'l. Plate, clutch disk all good condition. 3. Should amperes gauge dance like that with no music? Anyway any input greatly appreciated. 20240704_152150.mp4

Yes, thank you. I did come across your previous post and downloaded the booklet. What a great help! I appreciate you adding this link as well. Starter to ARM terminal, got it! Thanks again, Bobby.

Bought from Yamulla. Looked at it again and I did see a three pronged lead. I had that end at the VR. Took it off and attached it to the starter. It left me with a single lead that attached to VR. Operator head space strikes again. Will double check everything, but I think it's wired up enough to start the engine. Fingers crossed.

Thank you Patrick. I see what you're saying. I know what side of starter for the start switch- had it wired on stand. Anyhow- the harness doesn't appear to have a wire from starter to VR. Adapt and overcome. Thank you for your quick feedback.

Oh Boy! Getting wired isn't what it used to be. Have the harness in and connecting what I know, one wire at a time and by process of elimination, things are coming together. I have two questions. 1. Is my main switch correct? Looking at the picture, the left wire is hooked up to the battery and right one goes to starter. 2. Is there a separate cable that should go from starter to volt.reg.? I had starter rebuilt and not sure how to wire solenoid to volt. Reg. This is a LK rebuild so a few mods will be noted. Any recommendations on other picture are always greatly appreciated. Happy early Father's Day everyone that celebrates! Cheers!!🍻

I know, 🤣. It did help, although I think floating is out of the question.

So this happened today. Engine and tranny went in really smoothly. Radiator and shroud were more work than engine. Some precision was lost in disassembly that lead to the shroud and fan colliding. Impatience and grinder got the best if me. Anyhow- ta-da!!!

Here she is!!! Cigars all around! Still a ways to go, but can't be happier. 20240522_193712.mp4 20240522_193712.mp4 20240522_193712.mp4
