I will try and best explain all scenarios. I just bought this car and will be taking tranny out to investigate, but requires some front rad support fix before I do. So place your bets.

2G: 6 Bolt Engine (20K). 7 Bolt Tranny. (Unknown Stage 2 puck clutch)

#1. Stopped. In 1st gear. Clutch in. Rev to 7500. (car does not move).

#2. Stopped. In 1st gear. Clutch in. Stalls

#3. Stopped. Neutral. Clutch Out. No Stall

#4. On an incline. Stopped. 1st Gear. Clutch in. Won't roll backwards.

#5. I have observed when up shifting from 3rd to 2nd, clutch in, once I hit second, RPM's come up and drop as if clutch were out.

#6. All shifts below 4K are painful to listen to.

#7. Locked out of all gears from a stop with engine on clutch in. Engine off. Mostly smooth getting into gears. (might be a little louder than usual?) I did notice that RPMS drop by 100 when attempting to get it into gear...



Thoughts? tranny? Clutch? Flywheel? Release fork requires shimming? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Vent from top of tranny looks like it has been missing a long time. I changed fluids couple days ago (GM Syncromesh).. no change. (old stuff looked ok.. little dark, no shavings)
