(Preview)
I've decided to make an attempt at "tightening up" an original shifter for my 66. This is the same shifter body that was used in Canadian Pontiacs, Beaumonts, Acadians, numerous Chevrolets and I think maybe some Buicks prior to 1967. I have it all disassembled and need to order some parts for it. Fo...

Hi all, I have a 1965 standard (3 on the tree) I have a clutch question. When I start out in the morning the clutch engages quite nicely but as things heat up it tends to shutter going into gear.
