Re: Transmission Issues
A few years back the Model A hobby was inundated with poor quality clutch disks. The six springs were not secured correctly and could come loose and jam the clutch. Most suppliers by now carry a quality disk. See attached article.
However, I don't see how a clutch disk spring could get inside the transmission. |

Re: Transmission Issues
Getting together some people to help take the trans out to replace the disk, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. Hopefully only a few days of work. I will keep you all updated.

Re: Transmission Issues
Also, yes definitely rehab the transmission while it’s out. I didn’t when I had mine out to do the engine and I ended up pulling it 500 miles later to rebuild it. Mine needed a cluster gear. If yours is quiet you’ll probably be fine with bearings only.

Another funny thing is that when dissasembling some things for the overhaul I discovered that whoever restored the car used two bottom Universal Caps that were all pitted and unsightly. Luckily I have a nicer not pitted set lying around.
