I can feel it when it slides into reverse and it has the same feel when shifted into 1st. There is less feel when shifted into 2nd and 3rd. While in reverse when I let the clutch out and it starts to grab the engine starts to slow down and the car does not move. Same for 1st gear. It seems that if I continue to let the clutch out the engine will die or whatever is locked up will bust.
When i tried to push it, it would not budge, not even an inch, it is solidly immovable where it sits. It feels like the breaks are being applied or it is in gear.
I can't do anything tomorrow or Monday, prior commitments. First thing Tuesday I'll jack up the front of car, trans in neutral and see if the wheels spin. If the wheels turn then the trouble is in the trans. Thanks for all the help. I'll let you know what happens.

I can't wait for Tuesday to come along to hear the results of that test.
Those front wheel drive '32 Fords are almost as scarce as hen's teeth!
