I quess we all learn by experience on this subject. I've documentated my shifting mistake a couple of years ago when I got in a hurry in traffic and "slid" from first to second way too quickly and engaged BOTH forks at the same time (on US 40 with a garbage truck on my "tail"). The result was chipping two teeth off of first gear. I now have a rebuilt '53 unit with an R11 OD in my '41 Clipper, and I shift more "deliberately"...
