Fellow Deuce Fans,
Today while driving my Deuce (1971 Gen Prod Div) around town I hit a fairly large bump doing about 30 miles an hour. I know, not a good decision, but if I would have seen it coming I wouldn't have hit it.
That being said, after I hit the bump I pressed on the accelerator and it only revved. After realizing I wasn't going any faster, I pulled it off the road and climbed under. Having not seen anything in the road from where I pulled over, not heard any terrible sounds, and not seeing any fluids, I presumed I might've broken a U joint or something. But, the drivetrain was intact and tight. I can shift into first gear while the truck is running without depressing the clutch. It is hard to shift into second and third but fourth and fifth seem normal.
Never messed with a transmission before and need some help. Anyone have any idea what might have happened. Thanks in advance.
