Answers to Last Weeks Questions.
l. The trouble driver unfamiliar
with a cars Transmission usually has
when he attempts to change to lower
speed on a hill or even on level road Is
that he usually pushes the Gluten
pedal all the way down to tho noor-
board. bringing the clutch brake into
action. stopping the releasing or
driven discs or cone from revolving.
and at the same time slowing down
the revolving speed Of part OF the
transmission gears, preventing them
from meshing with remaining gears
revolving more rapidly when the Al
tempt is made to mesh them.
1t is only when the cone or driven
parts Of the clutch are speeded up IN
proportion to about twice the car
speed that gears should be changeo
from high to a lower speed. and the
procedure would be to disengage the
clutch by pushing in the pedal just
enough to release 1t. shift gears to

changed when car speed is not more
than ten miles per hour. This applies
to both shifting on hill or on level
road, excepting that while going up
hill the actions must be performed
much more quickly, to prevent the car
from stopping while clutch is olsen
gagged. Going down hill 1t may be
necessary to apply brakes to hold the
