So i have a 65 mustang that i put a 5.0 w a t5 tranny. did an oil change put royal purple 5w30 in it new filter and all starts great after but when i went to put in reverse loud grinding noise. thinking it is the clutch since i cant shift into any gear even with clutch pedal all the way down. Any ideas?

 

well reverse gear isnt synchronized like the rest..you can put it in any forward gear(i normally use 3rd then put it in reverse with no noise)

as for getting it in other gears your clutch linkage or cable etc must be out of adjustment

 

see i did have the tran working before reverse and all five forward now it wont go into any gear and when i try to put in reverse it makes a loud grinding noise but not with the others just wont go into gear when car is started

 

You're not fully engaging the clutch.

 

ok but i put clutch pedal all the way down and nothing how can i fix this

 

do you have a cable or mechanical linkage setup?

 

yes cable running under dash top of engine next to master cylinder then under car

 

have you tried adjusting it at the clutch fork?

 

i have tightened the bolt under car and cable got tighter but dont know what else or how much

 

if you put it in gear and push the clutch in with your foot off the brake does it try to roll
