I need some help here. I put a new transmission in my 1975 ford f-100. Its the np-435 4 speed with granny gear. I put the transmission in and now the clutch wont work. I pulled the bellhousing back but not off and bolted the transmission to the bellhousing and bolted it back up to the motor. Now that i have everything in the clutch linkage wont fit right anymore. There is a rod that comes off the linkage and sits in the throwout bearing arm, mine no longer wants to sit in there. when the clutch is depressed it will push the throwout bearing about an inch but wont compress the clutch. and when i pull the clutch off the floor( yeah, the clutch doesnt want to rebound by itslef either)the rod falls out of the throwout bearing arm. When it off the floor the rod sits about and inch away from the t.b.a If anyone has some insight to this problem please let me know, as i have already lost weeks of time and a tooth and several doctor visits to try and figure this problem.
