have two 4 speed cars. one is a factor bench seat car. If you jack the car up,and put a wrench on the sh*t bolts on the trans side to check for movement.The trans may stuck in neutral. or the shifter may be sliding on the stock rods.They are are slotted.

ok so I started the car and put it in 4th gear and got a very faint grind when I released the clutch it went away when I pressed clutch again. Maybe just need to replace clutch?

Clutch, possibly broken input shaft.  Either way, your probably gonna have to drop the trans to find out.

idk something weird going on there i'd check the things others said!!! also if you have a helper have them step on the clutch while you look under there at the clutch rods see it they move? you can do this without it running. then have them shift gears without it running watch the shift rods see if they are moving? with the stands under the axle.. set the e-brake with the shifter in neutral not running see if you can turn the driveline? if that all checks out ok then you may need to pull the tranny and check from there ...shaft or clutch...

ok guys so think it's the spider gears in the rear and the clutch just going to replace all new. But I have a new ? Are there any new style mustang wheels that will fit my torino and film the wheel well. I like some of the new stock wheels just wondering if maybe the 2013 and newer or older mustang wheels would work.

Use a selfie stand and take a video of your transmission linkages while going through the pattern. Then watch the video. The shifter has an alignment hole to put a rod in so the link rods can be correctly asjusted. Hurst shifter?
