1960 Bugeye, 1275, 4 speed.... "Otto". I had a rear axle sheer off as a result of a diff. failure. It's all back together and runs fine..... however, something new started happening. Sitting still and shifting in first gear at a light, there is a grinding, as I shift. After that it all shifts fine. Shifting into reverse is fine... no grind. I've read a few posts that this is fairly normal and proper procedure is to shift first into second to stop the gears and then quickly shift into first. I have not tried this yet...
Does it make sense that I've never had to do this before and just now find it necessary? Is there likely another problem lurking, or can I just not worry about this if the 2nd to 1st shift works?
Thanks!
