Thanks guys Ron Walker

I was at a show and someone asked me if I was sure that my windshield wipers were on the correct way. The more I thought about it I really wasn't sure. I started looking a pictures of 1940 Fords and then large majority had the wipers facing outward, and I thought that was the way they went...

Falling into first while car is rolling means the input shaft of transmission is turning the same speed as output through rotating of drive shaft. You have a clutch problem,whether it be bearing, disk, pressure plate,or clutch linkage as slowforty states,check these before sending transmission...

Thanks 19fordy, I got in touch with Wayne Moore and he said that the 40 Ford Standard tudors that he done they done in leather. He is a lot of fun to talk with. Super nice guy.\ I tried to get in touch with the other two authors but could not find their numbers. Thanks again Rwalker
