<VV> RE: 64 Spyder wont go

[Stewart MacLeod]

Andy,
Before you take apart the transmission and/or differential, check the
u-joint yokes. The splines tend to strip out so that the axle turns but
the wheel doesn't.

Guys,
I need some advice for a fellow club member, for his 64 Spyder:

I was heading to a car show this morning. I noticed a little bit of
chattering
prior to pulling up to a stop sign. It made the car jerk like you were
trying to
start from a stop in 3rd or 4th gear.  I shifted into neutral at the stop
sign
and  I then shifted into 1st and the car wouldn't move. It wouldn't move
in any
gear. I had it towed home and put it up on jack stands and checked the
linkage.
Linkage moves in and out of the transmission with the shift lever. Now,
where do
I go from here? There is no noise coming from the transaxle. Got any
ideas?

What about it - any guesses?
Thanks,
Andy K.
