Hi All
Recently on my 55 first series, 235, 3 speed, I had a new clutch installed while I had the flywheel replaced ( no room for this large a job, or skills on my side). Now that I have driven it a few times, since the new clutch I notice I now have an intermittent problem shifting into first gear when stopped ( traffic light, etc.) - The clutch that got replaced was badly worn, almost gone and before the clutch replacement, I never had any problems shifting to first ( or reverse ) and the 2nd and third gears were smooth as well. The new setup only has trouble after the first few shifts. I normally take her out for a 20-30 mile drive as usual and when she first starts, ( so far , only three trips since new clutch) it shifts without incident for the first half dozen shifts, then becomes increasingly rough, to the point of a few shifts (back to first) are actually sounding and feeling like a grind. the problem is only in an attempted shift to first from a full stop, 2nd and 3rd gear shifts are still fine. I am hoping it is a clutch and/or linkage adjustment. The shop has been great to work with, but I would like to understand what the combined experience in this group thinks before I go talk with them. I have put so much money into this truck since I bought it this winter, I am really hoping this does not signify a tyranny rebuild... - I appreciate any replies - thanks!
