I`m preparing to get back to work on my 1953 3100 after almost a years time. Last winter I thought I was ready to test drive after the following work was completed.
1. Installed a used 1951 235 w hydraulic lifters from a car that had a powerglide tranny. . Ran on run stand with good compression.
2. New clutch,pressure plate and u joints.
3. Had original transmission( 4 speed on floor) out of truck and changed fluid . Had cover off transmission to replace cover plate gasket. At this time the gears moved freely and I believed I got the shift linkage back in its original configuration but not 100 % sure. Shift pattern feels normal. Did not remove any gears or disassemble tranny.
4.Replaced stomp starter switch (Had starter removed from engine )
5. Drained and changed differential fluid.
6. Removed and cleaned gas tank
7.Truck has had 12 volt upgrade with alternator.
THE PROBLEM: With the shifter in nuetral I hit the stomp starter and the truck lurched forward ,as if it was in gear. Tried shifting into other gears and start with the clutch depressed and still lurches forward as if the tranny is in gear even though shifter is in neutral position with plenty of slop. I `m unsure of where the issue may be and want to work backward to try and solve the issue. Any thoughts or help appreciated.
