I've driven my Model A over MANY miles and somehow I can't seem to get past a double clutch between second and third. It's become a habit now I tend to do even on a modern car.

I thought that was why Ford arranged the center portion of the "H" to do exactly that.

It ain't a synchromesh.

Take comfort in that you'll never find shards of brass in the bottom of your tranny.

I won't talk about what you might find.
