1968 Camaro Saginaw 4 speed problems
So I just bought a barn find 68 camaro with a 327 and a Saginaw 4 speed (see photo). Hasn't been running for 10 years. Got it home and found out it has a 350 -not the 327 but I have another 327 out of a 68 Camaro. Trying to get it running so I can get it on a car hauler and move it from Arizona to Minnesota. I've never had a Chevy muscle car so this is going to be a fun learning experience/project. Got the motor running and the brakes bled but I can't get the tranny into 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear or reverse. I have it on jack stands and I can start it in neutral but the wheels turn when its running. Assuming it's actually in two gears - maybe neutral and 1st. I can not start it in 1st gear because the starter tries to turn over the motor and rear end - maybe first and 4th or something since I can't start it in what appears to be first gear. I was assuming the clutch is stuck to the flywheel so I adjusted the clutch so it feels like I have pedal but when I have it running and stomp on the brakes it kills the motor and occasionally I think I'm hearing the clutch squeal. Now I'm thinking its not a clutch issue. I'm beginning to think its out of adjustment and I'm in two gears. Thinking my next step is to disconnect the linkage from the paddles and make sure the paddles are in neutral, align the shifter and reconnect/adjust the rods. Any suggestions for a newbie?
