Thanks for the input.
I certainly hope you’re right. I didn’t think I could hurt it either, but then it occurred to me that maybe rolling it around dry could do something? Again, I’m still new to this so I’m just guessing.
The transmission is being held up by a ratchet strap to keep the drive shaft inline. I learned the hard way that without it being held up, the universal joint will rub on the body. So, now it’s supported.
I made sure I didn’t accidentally leave the parking brake engaged, and I recently bled the brakes. When I bled the brakes, I removed the drums to clean them, and forgot to put the drums back on. Whoops! So, I had to adjust the shoes in so I could get the drums on. I thought since the wheels spin freely in the air, that that confirmed it’s not a problem with the brakes. But who knows?
My pops and I agreed that since we were able to get it in neutral, that I should drop the engine in, and get it running to circulate trans fluid. Then see how it behaves.
