Re: 1928 533 clutch issue

HI-

Speeds appear to be inconsequential at this time. I had the guy shifting at ~ 15 and ~25/30 MPH. I can't tell as the speedometer is currently not working (it is on the list...)

The guy that is driving my car has 8 classic cars (Ford and Chevys- 1920s to 1940s) and has driven Packard's before and has played the double clutch game. His point of concern is that, if the car is stopped and not moving, you should be able to move the gear shift through all of the gears without grinding the gears. He believes it is a bearing that is failing or worn-out plate springs that have lost their tension and become more sloppy as you drive the car and it heats up.

I hope this helps.



BTW-If you have any good leads on repair shops for 1928 Speedometers, send em my way.
