Kanter's 2005 catalog listing (latest I have) for direct drive clutch states: "If your transmission slips in Direct Drive (over 30 mph) or groans into top gear, your Direct Drive clutch has become hardened and lost it's proper friction quality."


My '56 Patrician did this until I started using B&M TrickShift. After that, it didn't make any unusual noises and shifted just fine. That's why I HIGHLY recommend it in ALL Ultramatics, even freshly rebuilt ones.
