<VV> Oh Crap! Zero Speed transmission....

Dennis, 
That would be a clutch alignment tool AND pilot bushing installer!
It's like "Nu-Shimmer.... it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!"
:-)
Good luck CJ... sounds like you have some digging to start on...
Later,
Lonzo

It  sounds like you just made a clutch alignment tool out of your input  
shaft!  

You got to feel positive about everything these  days.

Hi guys- I think I just screwed the pooch big  time.... 

I started up my 65 with a 4-speed the other day, and since I  was 

planning on crawling under to do some exhaust work soon, I  

decided to go ahead and run it up on the ramps. 



So I  put the ramps in place, shift into reverse, give it a little gas and  

let the clutch out (up). 



There was a strange little  crunching/grinding noise and now I've got a 

no-speed transmission.  



Won't go forward or backward in any gear- and I can shift thru  the gears 

with the motor running with out pressing the clutch pedal w/  no grinding. 



What did I kill? 



I'm thinking  input shaft broken or stripped.... 



Please tell me there's a  simpler fix!
