[Amc-list] the strangest things....

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

so, as some of the regulars may remember, i had a
bunch of valve train problems with my 287 in my 65
classic auto. i got that all sorted out and got the
motor runnin real good. then, the trans went wacko on
me. all 3 forward gears worked, but when put in
reverse, it was jammed in 1st and reverse. also, in
neutral or park, was still in 1st gear. 

i had torn the valve body apart and all. no help.
well, went out and was working on some electrical
issues this afternoon. starter being one of them. got
it fired up, and in park, it didnt sound like it was
loaded up like it had been. sounded fine. so i put it
in drive. cluck, wheels started rotating the wheels
forward. (its on jackstands on all 4 corners right
now) put it in neutral, wheels coasted to a stop. i
thought hmm... ok, lets see... reverse, and WOW!!!!
the tires spun backwards after a good "CLUNK". it only
clunked that one time. i put it in and out of all
gears several times. and only clunked that one time.
guess it finally broke the clutch loose or what ever
was stuck. seemed to be working fine now. will have to
get it runnin again and take it around the block and
see what it does. 

hope it was just some crazy freak thing. i wont
complain. dont usually hear of things like that fixing
themselvs tho.
