Somehow my 1935 transmission is locked up. I may have tried to install the wrong top assembly. I have both a 1936 and a 1934 top assembly along with two different shift levers for them. At this point the transmission will not turn at all. For example it kills the engine if I let out the clutch. The reverse slider moves freely and the gear just behind the shift collar moves a little but the main drive gear and the cluster gear are frozen solid. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix it. Is this a common problem?
