gpt sp,e questions for you guys, i need a new radiator, how does this one look? http://www.ebay.com/itm/400247621581...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

also when im driving, ill go to down shift from second to first and it does not want to go into first, i have to really push to make it go, any ideas on why its doin this?

Question, how fast are you going when down shifting into first and I do not down shift into first at all.
Does it jump out of gear at all?

mine has a problem going into reverse, i have to go into neutral and play with it then go into reverse, mines weird with first too, im not sure

IM not going very fast at all, no it doesn't jump out of gear. Sometimes it only wants to go halfway into reverse, then I let the clutch out a little bit it goes right into reverse

actually, that's kinda how mine is. unless you're going below 3mph (or stopped when cold), you'll never get it into 1st. and reverse sounds the same, too. i've heard that most of these issues are caused by a worn shifter bushing (?)

It never did it before the rebuild tho

Great vids!

I've driven one with 25K on it a few years ago.... same thing, 1st is a really low one on these. Reverse, as mentioned, also was a lil sticky, just like mine. For reverse, i just put it in first, then it drops right over and into reverse.

For 1st, I have never downshifted into 1st unless I am barely rolling... it's just not practical with these. However, if I slap it into 3rd, then clutch and slowlyyyyyy slide it into 1st, it WILL go a lil easier. IMHO, 2nd is plenty low to get to a stop.

Nice work, bud! Looks great, too!

Did you do a grind on the flywheel? New Pilot Bearing? New Input shaft bearing? New Clutch, etc.?

1986yota4x4

Same clutch that was in it, and ok ill just use 1st taking off, I can't remember if it is hard to get into first at a stop or not

I know when a change the cutch in my chevy, I had the fly wheel cut. it's like when you cut your front disc brakes. all the marks are gone nice smooth surface.

Question on the steering wheel, who makes it and what size?

Thanks

Congratulations on getting your motor running. I know it gave you some problems, but you got it beat. I know that has to be a relief for you. Bet you get an A+ in class now. Great job.

Like Chef said sometimes you have to throw it into a different gear. The shifter bushing isnt bad to replace and more then likely it needs it anyways. Other then that I am not much help on your tranny issue.

1986yota4x4

the steering wheel is a grant gt, im not sure on the size
