have all gears when engine not running, but lose them when i start it

(1/3) > >>

Russ:
just fired my 65 up for the first time. new rebuilt trans (freeway flyer )
when assembled the pan i welded up the clutch tube.
the car finds all the gears, albeit stiff when not running.
as soon as i start the car i lose the gears.
free play feels good, so i gather the clutch is not disengaging
i really don't think i lost a clip on the throw out bearing when i installed it but will pull the engine if need be
any thoughts on what else it may be?

BUSDADDY:
Clutch disc stuck to the flywheel, siezed pilot bearing or rough splines in the disc (assuming there's not much freeplay and the throwout bearing is on the forks).

What happens when you start it in gear?

Russ:
its a new throw out bearing and pressure plate
it maybe seized pilot bearing as i didn't even look at it when i slapped it in.

when i start it in gear? clutch in and in first then let it out?
i'm not sure i can check tomorrow
what am i looking for?

Chris:
Put it in gear and turn the key to see if the car jumps, if it doesn't then you can most likely rule out transmission and look at the clutch assembly

Russ:
it's in a tight garage so i'm not going to jump it forward.
i can put it in gear when off and start it, slowly let the clutch out and it moves the car fine.
once i pull it out of that gear i never can fund another and reverse will grind trying to go in to it
