I am coming back to this thread I posted in November with one last question. Is it possible, if you have failing rear end pinion bearings, that...
Exactly what I was thinking - I knew something was seriously wrong, but the shifting was perfect and as long as it was in gear, it actually drove...
Wow ... on your way to work 22 years ago ... that's cool to me. My reaction to this failure is relief right now. No more guessing. Now I have a...
Makes sense - now that you mention it ...

I recently checked the sync, but will do so again over the weekend. I agree - I rarely had to re-adjust the carb sync on both truck and coupe. I...
No equalizer pipe. I will check all the spark plugs again Only one choke and yes it's on the darker pipe side. However it is rarely so cold, that...
About a year ago I noticed that the left exhaust pipe suddenly looks like it's burning leaner than the right one... see photos [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Do you mean this shift fork? Just took this photo of a new one I have, but it is perfectly symmetrical with no reference of orientation. [ATTACH]
Sounds like I have to go inside the transmission. I wonder if I can replace the main input shaft after just pulling the front bearing. Have to...
I recently replaced the pilot bushing, flywheel, clutch and throw out bearing and a rebuilt 3 speed transmission on my 1952 1/2 ton 3100 truck....
It is more like you have to remove power from the engine interacting with the transmission so the noise stops. But the drive line behaves just...
Interesting - I am not sure at what point of the pedal travel the noise stops. But I know the moment the clutch pedal relieves the load, the noise...
I top it off every 1000 miles, as per manual recommendation. 1500 miles at the latest. That's why I didn't suspect the transmission at first....
235 with stock 3 speed on the column and torque tube with 3.55 rear.
Thanks for your reply. Your descriptions start to makes sense now and point more towards the output end of the transmission. I can confirm more...
I am trying to figure out, if I should replace my clutch and flywheel in my 52 chevy truck, or if it may just be a bad throw-out bearing or pilot...

Tire vendors should add a 'Baby Butt Smooth Shave' option with added cost. And double it for Wide White Walls.
The longer, the better. And the longer they last means I don't have to buy another set of new tires. Wish these whiskers cut into the dirt roads...
