So I installed a clutch and had some issues with it (My New Clutch Wont go into gear thread) so I had to remove the trans again to to diagnose the problem...as it turns out it was a bad clutch disc.
Anyway, my son was helping me taking my trans out and it was one of those things, he thought I had it, I thought he had it...then it happened...it fell off the trans jack. I felt like I was going to puke...Physical damage was relatively minor, I hope. One of the ears for the shifter mount broke off. Right now I have it JB Weld'ed and it feels pretty strong. I was able to get that long bolt in there and tighten it and it seems to be holding...so far.
So heres a concern I have, maybe Im being paranoid. I have a Barton shifter so the body of it is still mounted to the trans. The trans is still sitting on the ground and when I put the trans in gear, the output shaft still spins freely. Is this normal or is there something internal that happened that I cant see?I would think that putting it in gear would lock up that shaft, right?
