By Terry Davis on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 04:41 pm:1926-1927 Model T transmission:
What is the process to get Neutral for the transmission. We have adjusted the brake band, high/low band and the reverse band per the Ford Service Book. Still cannot get neutral. When the handbrake is in place and all adjustments have been made per the service book, it should be in neutral. It is not! You hand crank the engine, the rear wheels turn and cannot be held as it feels like it is still in high. There is a adjustment for the three fingers in front of the hub (brass)at the rear of the transmission noted in the service book, but we are unclear on how to achieve this and what the adjustment should be. It shows 13/16" clearance adjustment, but from what to what we are not sure of. Any help out there in Model T land??

By coreywalker on Thursday, March 04, 2010 - 11:10 pm:I'm about to assemble my transmission. Tomorrow I'm going to put the clutch discs in. When I took it apart it was different than the tranny in my 14. If I remember correctly there was one thick washer that I don't believe had cogs to catch the drum. This went in after the ring with 3 pins that contact the adjuster screws, or it went in first, I can't remember. Do I need that piece or was it left out of some trannies? Maybe I should leave the fingers where they are and hope to be close to correct, then I can adjust from there? Where would a starting point be?
