The transmission still locks up in third with the linkage disconnected. It must be inside for this problem.

When I replaced the input shaft, that is all I did. Nothing else disturbed. The input shaft was a n.o.s. I think it may be a little different. The transmission will be out to repair. I can't carry around a large wrench to unstick it. Maybe the old input shaft will be going back in.

If one is looking for a place close to the Hershey fields to camp and park, I know of a great spot. It is the Hershey-Derry Historical Society right by the shopping mall just east of the Hershey fields. They have limited spots for a camper or trailer or just vehicle parking. They charge very...

My '53 Ford V8 with standard transmission locks it self in third gear! I have to crawl under with a wrench to release. It still does it again. I did change the input shaft prior to this problem. Does that have something to do with it?

I had the transmission carefully supported level then installed it with the spline into the disc, then releasing the clutch just enough to let the transmission slip the rest of the way into the pilot bearing. Pressure plate bolts and transmission to bell housing were torqued to specs using new...

The pilot bearing was replaced. The flywheel was resurfaced twice by competent machine shops. The chatter starts when I let up on the clutch, engaging the flywheel. If I let up slowly, the chatter is the worst. If I let it up faster and drive right off, It's not as noticeable. I have the...

Valve lifters on order for my '51 Lincoln We decided to buy the new ones on Ebay. We may keep the extra or sell back on Ebay. Thanks to all for your help and suggestions

Hello, Did I miss this? Do you have the Lincoln lifters I need? Thanks, John

Hello, I checked with Egge. They have only the plunger part at $22.19 each. NAPA has no listing. Kanter has none. So far, it's only the 16 on Ebay at $200 with shipping. As we need only 8, I may have to bite the bullet and buy the Ebay ones. Maybe I'll put the extra back onto Ebay.

Thanks all, I will be getting back to you as soon as my mechanic friend makes a decision. Take care!

I need 8 new hydraulic lifters for my 1951 Lincoln 337c.i.d. flathead. I'm replacing all on one side of the block as some are sticking. Any ideas?

I need to find the pan that goes on the bottom of the bell housing on my 1953 Ford Victoria V8 standard. The 52-53 Mercury should be the same, I think.:)

I'm in need of the pan that goes under the bell housing of my 1953 Ford Victoria V8. I think the 52-53 Mercury is the same. The part number is 6409, I think. :)

I'm now a "happy camper". Shoebox Central has a clutch rod for me! Thanks to all who helped me!:)
