Re: 3 speed OD question

Ah, thank you for that explanation! Believe it or not I was treating the kickdown switch as the on/off switch for over drive, I had no idea it would engage automatically above ~27mph. Thanks again.

Re: 3 speed OD question

40 Deluxe, are you saying that with the overdrive cable depressed, the car should not free wheel unless currently in OD?

Re: 1951 Ford clutch pitter-patter?

I suppose a better description would be a ticking noise, with each revolution of the engine you can hear a tick. It's not jerky when releasing. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Everyone,

When I depress the clutch pedal on my '51 Ford Victoria, I hear a pitter-patter directly related to the the RPM of the engine. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks!
