833 Transmission won't disengage at stop after 100 miles.

When I overhauled the transmission, I remember the casting numbers and gear teeth matching a 1964 - 4 spd, and the side - shifter plate being the latter model, reinforced plate with '64 era shifter forks.

At some point, I'd like to entertain different rear end gears. For now, I appreciate the 1st gear synchro when turning corners in town and will settle with shifting into 3rd when I approach a hill under 60 MPH. With my foot in it, 2nd to 3rd can be at 55 MPH.

You have a 3.09 first gear 4 speed.

You can’t check finger height without bolting down the pressure plate.

The input got hot. Either the pilot bushing is too tight or the bell housing needs to be indicated in.

Did you install the disc backwards? As mentioned above, the thick part goes towards the transmission. Or the thin part against the flywheel. Whatever way you want to look at it. The disc will go in either way.

You can use the grease method to get that pilot bushing out. Whatever you use to beat on has to be a pretty tight fit. And, you have to load it up with grease. It takes a BUNCH of grease. You may even get the bushing out part way and need to *** some grease.

Some guys use wet bread and smash it in there. That may be easier to clean up than grease. Either one will work.
