Grinds hard when trying to go into hi, low, reverse, I can start in gear and drive. Removed inspection plate and could see quarter inch or so of space between throw out bearing and pressure plate fingers. Went through clutch pedal adjustment (pedal was only meeting resistance right at the end of it's throw, had been that way for a while, year or more) now have about a half inch of space between bearing and pressure plate fingers. so went backwards there I guess. (Pedal linkage was fully maxed in the other direction before adjustment.)
Just want to make sure I'm right in thinking this is a pressure plate issue before splitting the machine.
Tractor was banged head first into a tree while brush hogging the same afternoon the grinding started. It was hit hard enough to break the radiator/nose casting where it mounts, both sides. Don't know if the shifting difficulty started before or after the smack.
Also oily in bell housing, bearing and linkage wet.
If this is a split anything I should know? Don't have stands would be using a floor jack and wood blocking probably.
Thanks for your help.
