Re: How to install a synchronized transmission in a Ford Model A
The Model T had a multi disk clutch, all steel disks, that was bathed in engine oil. The bands were cotton lined and also bathed in engine oil.
The synchro rings in the synchronized transmission do their synchronizing by a clutch action. The rings get the gears in time by the little clutches engaging. The transmission is bathed in gear oil.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work.
The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
