It’s not likely a problem with your fluid drive.  Sounds to me like your clutch is not disengaging. Check that first!

fluid drive is basicly a container with two non connecting fan blades inside with the blades surround by fluid.  As Worden says not likely to be the fluid drive.

If not the clutch, synchronizers in the transmission may be worn out.

If it only grinds going into reverse ( there are  no syncro's on reverse gear) ....and never any grinding going into low/ or high range while the engine running ....it's  a clutch problem..

OK the standard question.  What transmission does your car have?

If it's a 49 with the original trans, It's probably an m-6,

Being a Windsor, base model, wasn't the m6 an option?  If m6 couldn't be as simple as a too high idle speed?

These guys are in Fox Lake, IL and I have had good service from them.  I don't know if they do transmission work but could probably steer you in the correct path.

You could also contact the folks at Volo Auto Museum as they were the ones who connected me with Jerry's.
