I have a 66 c4 behind a 289 in a 66 Galaxie and the guy burned the transmission before putting in storage last winter. he thought something froze up. I rebuilt the transmission and sure enough, he wiped the teeth right off the clutches. nothing else in the transmission appeared to be wrong. when testing it was doing the same thing he said it did before rebuilding.It drove in reverse fine but forward was locking up and the wheels were chattering as we had it on jack stands. I thought there must be something in the rear end causing it so we pulled that apart. There was one axle bearing pretty gone.

Could the bearing have been acting like a one way sprag? Spiders locking? center section feels fine. has anybody heard of such a case? I don't want to ruin a newly built transmission. again, reverse works fine, forwards the rear end and things were bucking and the tires would barely rotate forward.

Need help?

Thanks.
