problem with tranny hook up
myself and my son have restored a 77 4wd from top to bottom we rebuilt the 300 6cy and the engine runs good as long as the manual tranny is not bolted up when you do bolt it up the engine will not turn over. anybody had this problem or suggestions?

hi
change the title in your post, you may get more answer.
1) is that the same tranny as before you started rebuilting?
if so what kind of tranny? and what did you do to the back end of the engine? Clutch? bearing? etc..

Is it possible you got the wrong clutch parts?

Hi
here is a bunch of dumb question.
When you say it wont turn over? you mean the starter engage, but it's trying to turn the entire engine and trany over? like you forgot to press the clutch?
Can the tranny be put in neutral? can you actually feel it going in neutral, not just the stick?
is it possible your pressure plate is backward? or the wrong one? You did not change flywheel?
I am assuming you are using the same bell housing.

yes it lugs when you try and turn it over. The transmission will go into neutral and I am assuming I have the right pressure plate, Oreilys did order the wrong pressure plate but I caught it when I picked it up and the one I put in looked exactly the same. It is possible we put it in wrong, How would I know? and yes we used the same bell housing. Thanks so much you guys on here are amazing

Did you install a new clutch pilot bearing or bushing ? If so, was it seated all the way in ? If the clutch disk is new it should be marked on the side that goes towards the engine and yes they can be installed wrong real easy.___
