<VV> 65 4 speed transmission problem - looking for MORE suggestions

[Joel McGregor]

Do you mean you hear grinding?  Once the clutch is released does it stop?  Does it try to kill the engine?
Whatever it is it sounds bad.  The only way (that I can think of) to transfer any power from the input shaft to the wheels when in neutral is the input shaft dragging on the pinion shaft or a bearing seizing in the transmission.  I've never seen or heard of this happening so it seems really odd that you have 2.
I have seen the pinion bearing melt because of no lube and that causes the pinion shaft to drag on the input shaft.  That required a new differential and input shaft but the transmission was fine.

4 speed problem:  A friend and I are both having the same problem on our 65 4 speed transmissions.  Sometimes (not always) when in neutral, as the clutch is released it sounds and feels like the gears are trying to engage; and the car creeps forward.
