T clutch

Post by BarrettR » Fri Apr 21, 2023 12:58 am

Anybody out there running a jack rabbit clutch?
If so does it give a good neutral for hand cranking?

All the aftermarket clutch kits do, if set up right and driven correctly.

20 + years ago, I sold a new set to an old curmudgeon. He was skeptical. Restored primarily early brass T's.
I believe his name was Bud Hand, a northern Ca. guy. Next meet he told me how impressed he was.
He could start his T cold in neutral & push it back out of the garage with one hand whall running.
Thats a pretty good, true neutral. These clutches were the original "jack rabbit" clutches sold thru Bobs.

I have them in all my T's. One set has over 10K miles on it. Same set got reused in a second transmission. Had no wear.
