I have a '65 Coupe with the 6cyl. Every time I stop and go to shift into 1st I have to grind the gears to get it in gear. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem. Do I need to just adjust the clutch? Thanks, Rusty
How do I adjust the clutch? I haven't ever had to adjust one. Rusty
The trans in a 6 cylinder car does not have a synchronizer on first gear. You won't get it into first if the car is still moving. Buy a shop manual from any Mustang vendor and follow the procedure. It is not difficult to adjust the freeplay in the clutch linkage. Too little free play and the throwout bearing will wear out prematurely and the clutch might slip. To much free play and the clutch might not disengage.

The problem isn't when the car is moving it's mostly when it's sitting still. Rusty
