Finally got my 36 on it's maiden voyage. It shifts fine from 2nd to 3rd. I am getting grinding going into first and reverse. Any thoughts would be appreciated

non syncronized, you must be completely stopped before shifting into these gears

Thanks for the reply. I will try again to be sure, but I think I was completely stopped

Be sure you have clutch adjusted to 1" to 1 1/2" free play. The transmission won't go into first/reverse because the clutch disk hasn't stopped spinning. You "can" shift to second or high before going to first/reverse to stop the disc. Is the clutch new? If so, it might wear in with a little use.

Also be sure that clutch pedal is fully depressed - this may help prior to actual clutch adjustment

Double clutch before you shift- That helps a lot! Regards, Steve Lee

To shift into ist gear without grinding, depress the clutch and using 2nd gear synchronizer lightly select 2nd gear which should stop the clutch disc from spinning. Then you can shift into 1st gear without grinding.

You might want to consider using an SAE 80 or 90 weight gear oil intended for use in synchromesh transmissions. The higher viscosity oil (compared to SAE 30 weight) will help smooth the shifting of gears as it reduces the difference in their relative speeds.
