    C-1 / T-10 / 4-Spd broke

    My '62 was completed 30 days ago and all was going great. Today, it stopped shifting into 3rd. I've checked linkage with no problem and it seems to go from 3rd to 4th with no difficulty. Tranny was rebuilt just prior to 9-11 and due to injury, I just got it installed a month ago. When I try to shift into 3rd, it grinds gears. Both down shifting and up...same thing. Any help is greatly appreciated....Sleepless in Seattle.

      don, these transmissions are just full of problems. it really takes a t-10 expert to make these things work right. be prepared to open up your wallet! putting in a muncie is about the best thing you can do for your corvette and your pocket book.

          Given your description, Pulling the side cover off and looking inside is likely the best (maybe only) means of finding the problem, after checking to see that the nut holding the 3-4 shift lever is secured properly.

              You may want to go through the linkage adjustment proceedure again to insure that nothing has slipped.

                  Can anyone explain what I'll be looking for when I open side plate on T-10? If syncro is out in 3rd, will it be something I'll notice as I open her up? Also, I noticed that with the car stopped and driveline NOT turning, I can shift into 3rd...as the driveline is turning...won't go into 3rd. Does this make sense? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for inputs so far.

                      when you say car stopped, do you mean engine stopped also, or engine running?

                          Bill,

                          Engine running (in neutral), driveline stopped. Sorry

                              That would sound like a cracked synchro ring possibly, or even a broken tooth on the gear. You need to have someone familiar with transmission repair looking at it. Removal from the car is likely at this juncture.
