Re: 1955 overdrive clash of gears

I haven't driven a 55 with three speed, but I have numerous others. If the gears want to clash in first and reverse, with the clutch pushed in, push the gear shift into second or high, then down to low or reverse. There is synchromesh on the top two gears. Putting the transmission in one of them before going to low or reverse stops the gears from moving - ergo, no clash.
