I finally got my 1958 235 apache up and running again with a newly rebuild motor but my 3 three linkage somehow got tweaked pretty good and when I shift into first it'll grind at first unless you hold the clutch in for 3 seconds and then lightly shift it in. ITS REALLY ANNOYING! Does anyone have a spare set of linkage to a 341 three-speed transmission? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Grinding going into first when stopped has nothing to do with the shift linkage. It is caused by the clutch dragging slightly.
Do you have the correct amount of free play in the pedal?
If so than I would say to be patient and it will most likely wear in.

If you shift to 3rd gear first & then go right into 1st or reverse & will not get the grinding.
