    '26 Ford T

    26 Model T (High Gear/clutch forks)

    I would like to know that if my clutch forks are worn out, would that cause the car to jerk/pulsate when in high gear going down the road? It just seems like the high gear is not fully engaging? If not, would there be something wrong with the rear end gears and/or bearings? I looked in both...
