I am a new owner of a 1947 Plymouth P15 businessman's Coupe. I have done minor repairs on it but been having an issue with grinding going into 1st, 2nd, sometimes 3rd, and reverse. First off, I did adjust the clutch turnbuckle to get 1" of free play. I also adjusted the screw that is connected to the qassembly and goes into the clutch to engage. I had it set so I would barely press the clutch and it would disengage. I then push the pedal all the way to the floor and still get grinding. If the transmission strats to disengage when I barely press the clutch, surely it should be completely engaged as I press it to the floor. But still get grinding. Second, I adjusted the screw outside of the clutch so that the clutch would need to be almost pressed to the floor before it would didengage the trans. And still get grinding. I also changed the transmission oil to the recommended sae80 gear grease. Not sure what was in there before, but regardless I had the grinding before the change and after. I really love this vehicle and I drive it as often as I can, enven with the grinding. I did notice If I slowwwwwwwwly put it into a gear with clutch pressed for several seconds, SOMETIMES it will not grind. I adjusted the link and the clutch screw millions of times and got nowhere. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Chad!
