Had a chance to tear things down over the weekend. I am thinking something failed in the pressure plate assembly but I am not certain. When I separated the transmission, 1 out of the 3 fingers of the pressure plate was pushed in, not fully extended. The third finger did not extend out until I unbolted it from the flywheel. 

When I held the pressure plate, I could hear one of the roller bearings rolling back and forth, not sure if that is supposed to be like that so I took it apart.  Should there only be 3 roller bearings? There are slots for 3 more. I had a couple of bent springs in there as well.  There were some witness marks of the roller bearing on the inside of the pressure plate, on a few spots.

I had a massive rear main seal leak for years that looks like it made its way onto the clutch disc as it looks pretty glazed and burned but no scratches that can catch a nail on. Either way the flywheel, pressure plate and disc will be changed with the new engine as my new crankshaft has 8 bolts vs 6 like this one.

Not exactly sure what was causing it not to go into gear when running, but the pressure plate did not look right to me, hoping that was the issue.

Hi all , I like to burn my own cd's , yes I'm a dinosaur . I haven't for a while but would like to do a few now. None of the places I used to use seem to be around anymore. What are some current places? Free or a reasonable cost doesn't matter. Thanks

Have they checked the car yet ?
How was it ?

I got someone to check out the car. The "seller" wouldn't even come out of the house to show the car off nor pulled it out of the tiny shed it was in. The person who looked at the car (he owns two second gen chargers) said the car was a piece of crap and worth maybe half of what the seller was asking. The engine had leaks everywhere, bondo, decals were peeling off, mixture of 71, 72, and 73 parts.

The engine had bondo ?
I wonder if the seller didn't really want to sell it so he priced it too high and then showed no interest in talking to buyers.
Some guys have no balls to tell the wife that they don't want to sell their car.
