Thanks my friend. You might be able to help me. I think I have the hydrolic clutch figured out... but there is a little rust inside trans and it's locked up in neutral... I just need it to move now before winter for my mental health... full of new gear oil... what can I do to free up the trans? Drain gear oil and fill with kero? Or diesel? Empty gear oil?

@@workingmansrestorations7071 if it’s a cast iron top loader you might be able to take the lid off. Maybe you could possibly Try filling it up with ATF first and see it it moves. Then switch switch it back to gear oil when if frees up 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

It is cast. It's a sm465... should I just add atf to it till it's up to gears? Or drain gear oil and start over?

[@613Builds]

@@workingmansrestorations7071 hard to say. Oil is expensive so try topping up first . Don’t be afraid to take the lid off the the gearbox either

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

@@613Builds sounds good. I am going to top it off. Gear oil is trash now anyways

Try bread next time it comes in clutch

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I actually didn't have any bread. I tried some bread bet think it was too mushy... chisel it out actually worked good though
