Glad to hear you were able to find the culprit.

Knowing the issue is more than half the battle.
I have to focus to ensure I don’t end up moving ahead with upgrades.... SFI flywheel, blow proof, HD clutch fork, heim join linkages, etc, etc. Not yet!!! Ryan W31

A few pictures.
I am pretty disappointed to see the wear on the clutch fork.... not sure how this occurred? Adjustment? Soft part? Ryan W31

Tenacity wins every time!!
I had a new pilot bushing made at 1.383” OD and added a circlip back to the crank groove. Then I reinstalled the clutch, PP, Bell, fork, and....... the transmission!!!!! Reminder: Add oil. I pushed in the clutch and there is no binding, I was concerned as I had to draw it in due to my poor alignment tool. Reminder: buy used 27 Spline input shaft. I am headed back to the road soon. PS: this clutch fork has wear every point of contact and all were greased and it has a whopping 500 miles :-( Ryan W31

More time in the garage tonight.
I installed the speedo, driveshaft, crossmember, added oil, shifter installed and adjusted, adjusted the clutch a little bit. Took it for a little test drive on the ramps and jack stands (she’s solid in the air and I didn’t make any hasty movements. Trans sounded and acted and felt perfect. (Happy) Note: I need to recheck oil after a little test drive. Ryan W31

Here is a funny one.
Look what I had on the shelf the whole time. This was in a box of parts removed from my M20 during rebuild. Live and learn. Ryan W31

It shifts!!! The shifty shifter shifts!! I double checked the oil in the trans and took it for a test drive. All feels very good. I may do a little check of the shifter and lube it a little but all’s well!!! Huge thanks to Nick Morocco and Craig Wright!!! They got me back on track!!! Now I will be able to have the car shiny for the Bone Stock and Modified Muscle Cars Magazine photo shoot this week. (She needs a bath) the video is just easy going through the gears to get everything lubricated.
