[T3] Type 3 VS Type 4 Final Drive

[Adam Douglass]

Here is what I have. When I started it there was a constant grinding. Nothing overly loud....Just like it hadn't fallen into gear. This happens in every gear. It never seems to fall in or want to move. I decided to read over the shift cable adjustment instructions again.

In those instructions it states;

1 loosen the cable
2 push the shift lever to the back of the car as far as you can
3 let the transmission park-brake engage by letting the car roll forward
4 tighten the cable with the park break engaged

The wife got home and I loosened the cable, pushed the shift lever back and rolled the car a full revolution of the tire. The transmission park brake never engaged. Something is not right. If I can't get the park brake to fall in then I cannot tighten the cable at the proper spot.

Any suggestions?

Adam

Is it puking transmission fluid out of the main TC seal? If not, it might
be not be out of gear, just right on the edge.
