[V8Vairs] shifter and linking

[GnKHOFFMAN at aol.com]

Hard to diagnose over the net.  Could be multiple problems.  With  the cars 
getting as old as they are now, it isn't unheard-of for the shifter  tube 
to need rebuilding.  If recollection serves, there was a nylon/plastic  
bushing (that wears/becomes brittle/breaks over time).  I paid Steve  Goodman to 
rebuild mine.....with a bronze bushing?  Supposidely it isn't  supper hard 
to do it yourself.
 
Not sure that will help with the grinding.......... As Paul asks, is your  
car a Crown conversion?  Do you have a hydraulic clutch?  If you are  not 
getting full travel, the master/slave system may just need bleeding, or  
adjusting, or even rebuilding.

Is it a  Crown conversion?  Is the clutch fully disengaging?  When holding  
the shift tube, are you manually able to change gears?

Just some  thoughts.  Keep us posted.
