Either the shifting rods are not the
right length or the springs that bring
them back to neutral are weak. Re-
place these springs, and if this does not
remedy the difficulty try adjusting the
lengths of the rods.
The tension of the clutch spring can
be adjusted by screwing up on the nut
that holds the thrust bearing in place.
1t is possible that this will not make
the clutch hold. If it does not, then the
clutch leather should be replaced. To
do this it will be necessary to remove
the clutch cone. Take the universal
apart and then unScrew the bolt that
holds the thrust bearing in place.
After this the clutch spider can be re-
moved.
What effect have moth balls on gaso-

The use Of moth balls will increase

Many owners have fastened plates

worth the expenditure in time and
