Well, actually, and to fess up, my first car was an auto. Once you stepped on the crank and got that puppy running, you got in the cockpit and pushed this steel rod with your foot that was connected to an idler pulley that tightened the drive belt that ran between the pulley on the axle and the drive pulley on the crankshaft.
The engine had a governor, however, I had a piece of baling wire that ran from the governor through the firewall, so as I could reach out and over ride the governor...... giving it "boost". Note the staggered wheels, California rake, aluminum pulley and straight through header. In addition, I milled the head on a piece of metal sandpaper on the basement floor, ground the valves with a hand grinder, installed new high compression rings and a had a "hot" spark plug. Yep ........it was a fine machine ........ but it was still an automatic ...... ![]() humfrz |

Three on the tree. And all I ever heard growing up was "standard gearbox."
Lately I've heard some folks referring to "manual transmissions," but I write them off as zit-faced-hot-wire-artists. It matters not how many "gears" it has, if you have push in (or squeeze) a clutch and move a lever to change actual toothed metal "gears" it is and forever will be a "standard gearbox." Now where is my "Old age is no place for sissies" t-shirt?

Yep, it had it's speed limitations, but at least my gal would ride with me (reluctantly). My Cushman motor scooter was faster ...... but she wouldn't get on the back of it. Maybe it was my driving ....... ?????? ![]() humfrz |

Didn't try it at all but thinking to try it. Then it would probably be wasted and damage all over if I tried it.
