The transmission

Today we scrubbed down the transmission  using marvel mystery oil , goo off and mineral solvant
This combination with a good brush really shines up that old corrosion , it comes off with just a bit of elbow grease.
The mounting bracket was not installed properly ,with the wrong bushing so the whole thing wore out in no time . This may be why the car did not shift well and may also be a factor ,why the owner did not drive the car after all this work was done  . The new bushing was installed incorrectly with the wrong side shims so the result, total failure of the shift linkage after a very short time.
The transmission itself was on great shape with a new throughout bearing and arm .
Lets see what the clutch plate reveals . I think its new also.
