I am working on a 26 trans for a friend, the previous owner put a 25 hogs head on it without changing the brake band to the old stile. The car made a god awful noise every time you hit the brake (the wider band was grabbing bough the brake and low speed drum). I opened the trans and found the drive plate rivets loose,one of the clutch disks cracked the low speed drum bushing and the universal ball cap worn. After making the above repairs I reassembled the trans and put it back in service. When I drove the car low speed was ok, however when I went into high gear the trans would howl until I hit 25 to 30 mph. It would also howl when I hit the brake. The triple gears showed some wear on the third gear from the flywheel, could this be the cause or should I look somewhere else?
