...welp. That '94 c900 with the transmission the grinds into 1st biffed it this afternoon.
Sunny fall day in the sixties, cruising along with the top down la la la, stop at a red light, third car back. Light turns green, depress clutch, select 1st gear, blip throttle, release clutch BOOM!
Well, it was more of a sudden lurch forward almost as if I stalled it. Then nada. Engine revs freely, the clutch pedal feels more or less normal, and the shifter feels completely normal. I can get it in and out of all the gears, and it even makes that faint grind into reverse that we all know so well. Putting it into the gears does nothing though. It just revs and won't move as you move the clutch all the way out. The front wheels are SEIZED. We had to chain it to a tree to pull it down off the flat bed in my driveway. I'm in the "part it out" mentality right now, unless it sounds like something easy/cheap to fix to you guys.
