Hi all,
New member here. My 66 Belvedere is my first B body, thought I've had a couple A bodies in the past.
I just bought a mint 66 Belvie with a slant six and three on the tree, 46,000 miles. My mechanic just put in a new clutch, and now it won't go into 1st and reverse. It grinds horribly. He's put different grades of fluid in, and nothing.
We're quite stumped. If it helps to know, he put in another new clutch last week that turned out to be the wrong size. The distributor shipped the 10-inch, which they claimed was compatible, when it really needed the 9 and 1/4. Now the correct one is in, but we can't figure out the grinding problem.
If anyone can offer advice, I'd be grateful.
Also, how do I know what my transmission is called? For example, I know the 904 is the venerable automatic, but what's the label for this three-speed manual?
Thanks!
