I put this on the general forum as well: When I purchased the 32 5W it had a 59AB and the original 1932 transmission which would not stay in second gear. I replaced the 32 transmission with a 78-7006 case and an updated gearset. I also installed a new 29-7550 clutch disc with the existing pressure plate. The transmission worked fine on a bench test so I jacked the rear tires about 2 inches off the floor on jack stands for in car testing. I can start the car in all individual gears and the trans seems fine, but I can’t shift gears. The original 7532 clevis location on the 7521 clutch adjusting rod does not work. It allows the pedal to retract way too far past the brake pedal and bottoms out on the floor before releasing the clutch . I had decided to use the original 1932 B-7510 release shaft and 7515 release fork to avoid these linkage issues, but obviously something is wrong. I have tried moving the clevis both ways on the adjusting rod, but to no avail. After much viewing and thinking, it seems I might need to shorten the adjusting rod, but don’t understand why the original setup does not work as intended. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.
