Hi guys, well it was an idle problem, too fast. I have my other Model A at an idle the same or even a bit faster and she shifts just fine so I guess the coupe' doesn't like the faster idle. She's so pretty I'll give her her way. I also have bit of a carb. problem with the stalling if the idle is...

I checked the shifting linkage and all is in good order. But good to be sure. One of our club members got back to me today and gave me the name of a member who does work on the members cars. He was very kind and said he would be happy to come over to my house as have a look. So I think I am at...

I was sitting here thinking and I remember the first time I took her down the street which was after I put in the new shifter, I was going about two mph turning around and I heard a thump, thump, thump ... which sounded like when you get a bit of tread which is coming off the tire when your...

Thanks Jim ... done that.

yep

yes I have no problem putting her in gear at a stand still. Well I just went out the check the throughout bearing and to see how far the fingers are away from the housing at the top I started the car and put it in first gear, no problem, let off the clutch 2/3 of the travel and she start to...

Hi Stingray70, Yes the idle is down and there are no abstractions which would cause it to stay at a fast idle.

Hi all, thank you for all the information. The car shifts into all gears when at a stand still, no clunk, no grinding, very smooth. I have another Model A a 1928 Closed Cab Pickup and I have the same 1500 oil in her and I have no problems. I have been using that oil for quite a few years in...

Hi there, thanks for the response, No, I use 1500W that you can buy from Mike's afordable. I have been using it for years. I do have about 1" free play before I feel the clutch pressure. The travel before I feel the car start to move is about 2/3rds.

I recently bought a 1930 Standard Coupe' which had been restored several years ago but only has 1460+ miles on her. Problem: She shifts into gear from stand still 1,2,3 and reverse with no grinding at all. I have adjusted the clutch and changed the oil (1500W) and lubed the linkages and greased...

I'd like to thank all you guys for spending the time to answer my question. I will tighten them good and tight but not to the point of braking them. I was concerned about the piece of anti-squeak material that was suggested to me to put between the spring and the cross member, never did that...
