Re: Muncie rebuild

Welcome from So Arizona !

Is 1st the only gear that does not work?
Are you sure it is not the linkage or the clutch or the driveshaft or rear end, or axle?

If first is not working it may have broke something isside and by starting and letting out the clutch you may do MUCH more damage with broken parts getting caught between the cluster gear and another gear.

I would stop and remove the trans and take the sidecover off and inspect the gears by rotating the input shaft. You will be able to see what is damaged
