Next time that you drive the Model A, leave it floored when you shift it. The Model T is a fragile old lady; do the low gear, close the throttle, then nice and easy let up on the low peddle. Give the clutch a chance to grab. Its a 12 disc wet clutch and needs to squeeze some of the oil out to work. Rollingat 25 mph open it up (WOT) and if the clutch slips then, adjust the 3 fingers inside. The single clutch spring is only about 100 psi of pressure.
Read the book on that part, especially about dropping cotter pins into the abyss. A half turn on each will probably be enough. ws
