T-10's will stick in 2 gears at once resulting in the engine dying when
the clutch is released. Rowing the shifter helps sometimes. sounds
like that might be what happened. A fix would be to replace or adjust
the shifting rods. Are you sure the shifter assembly is for the T-10
and not another 4 speed?

At this point I'm not sure of anything. I was under the impression that the
T-10 was a Borg-Warner 4 speed transmission. This is the Dagenham 4 spd. Am I
wrong?

Also during the "bog down" period, I was able to shift from 1st through 4th
without any change. It stayed "dragging" with the engine fully revved until it
finally freed itself 2-3 seconds later.

I want to put it in a shop, but the tranny shop I would use is NOT the same shop
I would take it to for brakes.

So I'm trying to figure out what's wrong first.

Lance.

No. I don't know if a T-10 was ever used on 6 cyl cars, but the Dagenham
was *only* used on 6s....

It sure sounds like brake lockup to me. It might be a front rubber hose collapsing
internally. When it happens again, put it in neutral, get out and try pushing the car.
