Oh mate, this takes me back to my youth on the family farm, I bought an old Model A from a neighbour, the engine was all seized up, but I soon had that all fixed, then I stripped the body off and made it into a paddock basher, wow, did this old girl teach me how to drive a non synchro box, we had a make shift race track around the sheds, haystack, and sheep yards, best fun I ever had as a young bloke, we also had a paddock basher 350cc Ariel motor bike, so there was another awesome skill learning to ride, then thrash the motor bike around the track....I will never forget those days. The secret to working a crash box is all in the timing, and don't be timid with the rev matching, Double De Clutch gear changing only slightly slower than with synchro when you know how.
Nice job young man. You are close. I suggest you research and understand the timing advance lever better. You start the car lever at the top as you did, but you do not drive it there. After the car is running a few seconds, pull the lever down a couple notches. (8 to 12 degrees of advance.) When driving out on the road, engine warm, lower the lever a couple more. That will be to about 20 degrees advance. If you begin to run high speed, say 35-45 or 50, move it down a bit more. You can find a nice explanation for this by viewing Paul Shinn's how to time a model a video on RUclips.
Your shift explanation is mostly correct, but I'd like to add that you need to rev the engine for your downshifts while the transmission is in neutral and the clutch pedal is up, not down. When the pedal is down, the engine is disconnected from the transmission, and the input side gears will coast down to a speed that is too slow. With pedal down, you have no way to speed them up. That is why you double clutch to downshift. You use the throttle to increase the speed of the input gears, but the clutch must be engaged to do this.
Drove one. Didn't need to "double clutch". Just very decisive shifting.
This is bullshit lol
@@spiderofthehood6127 its true, you dont even nred the clutch either past first gear, or really at all if u use the starter in firsy
@@Skoda130 His engine is idled too high as well, to properly double clutch you need to let the rpm's adjust, and then clutch out in N.
Great video and great explanation. We just got a 1949 truck and a lot of this old technology is very new to us. After watching several other peoples videos that were not so clear on the various processes I came upon yours and watched yours twice and now I've got it. Thanks!!!
Had to do this in my 91 mr2 turbo! Lol
Damn thing wouldn’t shift 1st to 2nd,and couldn’t downshift 4-3 and 3rd to 2nd! Learned double clutching and rev matching thanks to it!
mr2 have a synchronized trans , i think you should replace your syncro gears
@@omer9572 thats what i was thinking
Gonna drive an old Deutz tractor tomorrow, thanks for giving me a heads up
Great Video!
I have a John Deere utility tractor with a collar-shift transmission, double-clutching is a must on the road!
This is one gorgeous car...
Great video!! Super nice car!!!!
full manual, real cool!
cool video!
Sick vest
When he is demonstrating down shifting with the car stationary, isn't he missing a step when shifting down from second to first? After you have pushed in the clutch and pulled the gear lever from second into neutral, you have to let the clutch out, give the gas pedal a push to raise the rpm, then push the clutch in again and shift down into first. That's why it is called 'double clutching'. Letting the clutch out in neutral and giving the engine some gas causes the transmission's first gear to spin faster thus bring it up closer to the speed of the wheels. Am I wrong?
This is one of the early anti-theft systems.
Teach Amber how to drive it and film it.
So just like a Eaton Fuller RR in a truck. cool
Sounds extremely hard to drive this car.
U see ppl, the model A already had cruise control while nowadays it's an extra
On The 1900-1960s vehicle,we have full control to the vehicle not like modern vehicle,all is automated,yeah theres advantage and disadvantage
4:11 - Looks like the windshield wiper is vacuum-operated, not manual.
So you could drive it with out the clutch
I think there's a company that can convert them they're synchronized
Good attempt to explain the procedure. Only two things: When you're trying to film your footwork on the pedals, you need to be doing it when the sun is BEHIND you; it was very hard to see what you were doing because your feet were in the shadows. Also, as soon as you move the shift lever to the next position, you need to move your arm OUT OF THE WAY as quickly as possible...again, you were blocking the pedals, this time with your arm!
I was interested in the video until I saw you start the car with the clutch depressed. Very bad for the motor and transmission on an old car.
They had generator generators it was called the magnetos used for ignition and electric motors that could fit in cars by the teens
P.S. Model A with a unsycrhonized transmission!?!? The owner must have been a masocist yeesh
Can barely hear you with that muzzle on.
Must be on your end, I can hear him perfectly fine LoL
@RL CL Weird
Probably time you get your hearing checked
@@AleixoAlonso
People are idiots including you he’s outside, WTF
@UCWFJx06Cy6p3v4TPik7TYbw idiot you are he’s outside take the damn mask off
Not RPMs bro. The word you want is speed. Revolutions Per Minute is a unit of measurement of engine speed. There's no such thing as Revolutions Per Minutes.
Wear two masks!!!
Two plastic bags work the best.
You're outside in a convertible, in the sun, with a cloth mask on. This is peak stupidity and cowardice.
Lol triggered
The mask bro. Come on man.
This was from the crazy times 2 years ago.
Damn dude. Your making a video and your muzzled up? Really? Cuties going to jump on you driving down the road? Sorry but damn.
