Greetings everyone!
I recently saved a '60 Lark from an assured slow death by neglect. I gave said Lark to my wife as a 30th birthday present. Maybe it wasn`t the best idea.
I have done quite a bit to the car and thought all was well...well..it wasn`t. My big contention is the overdrive. It all seems to be in working order and clean. The freewheeling was working but not anymore. The overdrive was not.. is not. Linkage is fine and in adjustment
Now, reverse no longer cooperates. It slips..alot when engaged. It feels like the rear end, but there is also something grinding away in the transmission. It also gives one good clunk starting off in first since this reverse problem has arisen.
The car is equipped with the 259. It has the manual 3 speed with overdrive.
Any and most all replies or suggestions are appreciated!
