Karl Childers Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 1940 Dodge D14, flathead 6, speed on the column...getting a grinding after shifting into 3rd gear...to best describe the sound and chatter i would compare it to throwing an auto car into park while its still rolling. It is LOUD...like spines not correctly lining up and the teeth grinding or something...even when throwing the car in neutral it still does it until the car slows down and it goes away...but it does it everytime. - i have had a few other people on other boards mention front u-joints? some say bearings, others say teeth on gears...i do not know. trans fluid is full, everything goes into gear good and all gears work, no grinding when shifting and everything seems to function besides the issue above. if you look closely in the pics you can see the cable that runs down from the shifter, it has an adjustable nut/threaded rod end at the tip of the cable and it seems that someone in the past may have added a few oversized nuts as spacers inbetween there, does anyone local want to go through this trans for me and look it over...i will PAY you for your time, if it needs a rebuild or a part(s) replaced i will get them if available...local?? i do not know much or anything about manual trans' i am located near chicago (midway airport) and have no problem covering travel costs and gas, lunch/dinner/drinks or whatever to have someone with exp. with these come take a look...i have a heated garage, air tools, jacks, lighting, many specialty tool and whatnot to get this trans out and gone through... PLEASE HELP!!!!! i am new these cars and new to manual trans'...this is crazy trying to find parts for this...i cant even seem to find a place to order them from or someone who wants to look at it being local.

wheily209 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 i would take it for a drive and when you get back put your hand on casing and see if the casing is really hot in a sertain spot . that would tell you if it was a bearing. Quote
