Apparently I typed to slow?
Also, I can spin the input shaft in 1st but in no other gears 
Now I can get the shaft to lock in all gears but reverse. Seems right.
So I should be able to spin the shaft by hand in all gears? Because the output is spinning even when in neutral . And I can’t turn the shaft while it’s in any gears.
You probably missed the reverse gear with the fork. Have to restab it.
Alright. Now it spins easy in 1st, 2nd and stiffens up but still spins in 3rd, even stiffer but spins in 4th. Spins opposite in reverse feels about the same as 1st. Still moves the out put shaft in neutral but I think that’s just because it’s not spinning fast.
Yep held the out put from spinning and it’s good.
Sounds good now!
Sweet. That was the practice run Lol now I know what to look for when it’s back together. I was under the impression I wouldn’t be able to spin it at all while in gear. Trying to research what could possibly be used for the forks. Going to have to give my dad a call on this one. He’s put so many of these together he could do it blind with a hand tied behind his back. He only ran mechanical clutched 4-5 speed transmission in all of his hot rods. He’s definitely the guy to ask.
literally just going to soak the fork ends in DuPont dry film PTFE. $3 for 4oz bottle
I am confident that the coating is PTFE.
Now, the only concern I have is how to coat them properly.
I am thinking I will heat the forks up and dip them to allow for the most absorption of the dry film with the metal heated the metals pours expand and the cooling from the film will help lock more in.
Somewhere above the operating temperature of the transmission. Just need to figure out the optimal temperature for this.

Did more digging and it turns out that nascar coats all their gears, bearings and shafts for their transmissions and rear ends in PTFE in order to shed oil. This allows them to run the lightest weight oil possible and still run cool at extreme speeds and abuse.
So it is applied cold.
just need to clean the oil out of the forks well and apply it.

Today I am taking the seats, center console,floor mat out and dropping the steering column to get ready for the pedal assembly.
really excited/anxious to see what the floor looks like underneath.
would like to get this old rusty pedal assembly blasted and painted but I’m going to have to deal with just wire wheel and paining.
will post up some progress photos shortly.

5 more bolts.
I’m nervous because I just pulled a seat bolt that was entirely eaten away in a portion of the floor that can’t be seen from underneath. Really hoping it’s all there and solid lol
