Default Re: help dowshift 3rd to 2nd

The Ford mode A sliding gear 3 speed standard transmission uses straight cut spur gears without synchronizing drums. Therefore it needs to be double clutched to shift up or down to mesh these gears without grinding....Henry referred to these transmissions as "crunch boxes", preferring the planetary transmission found on the Model T....But that's another story for another day.....
