1932 Coupe Transmission The rebuilt transmission in my 1932 Coupe shifts nicely when driving the car. However, sometimes it is difficult to shift out of gear into neutral when the car is on a slight hill and I have come to a stop. I have to gently let out the clutch and "lurch" the car slightly to unload the drive train to get the transmission into neutral. I have taken the top off of the transmission and with the car sitting in the garage, you can slide each gear very easily with your fingers. It is a nuisance. What is causing this problem? Thanks, Ed

Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission Clutch drag???

Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission Is this a '32 type trans with straight cut teeth or a later with a helical tooth cut? The straight could be harder to shift when "loaded" by the drive line.

Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission I am using heavy gear oil, 600W. The gears are helical. What transmission oil would you recommend? Ed

Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission 140 OR 85-140 . Helical gears mean 36-up gears . I use 140 in steering,tranny,u-joint & rear end . The tar you are currently using for lube is probably your trouble . David J

Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission Ed,
What Dave says. Any good grade 85-140 weight will probably remedy the jam. Charlie ny |
Re: 1932 Coupe Transmission Thank you for the recommendation on using the lighter oil. I will give it a try. Ed
