Default Re: My new 1930 2-dr sedan

Regarding downshifting: I forget whether your car has a Mitchell overdrive. If it does you can put the overdrive in neutral and then put the transmission in whatever gear you want without double clutching. Then put the overdrive back in gear. The overdrive has synchromesh so it will go in gear easily. Just make sure that the gear you chose is appropriate for the road speed you are going.
