Default Re: Do YOU single-clutch ?

I usually double clutch out of a habit I learned with my first Model A when I was 17. However, with our present roadster, I can single clutch or use no clutch at all.....need to listen to the engine rpm with any method and do it slowly.

We also have a '31 Chrysler with the same kind of transmission and it baffles me how different it is to a Model A. In spite of whatever weight oil I use in it, it wants to be double clutched and shifted rapidly or it will grind. Can't figure out why the big difference between the two. Also, down shifting without grinding it is difficult. Anybody have any ideas about that?
