I don't think anyone ever made a vehicle with all-wheel drive and no synchromesh. Maybe prewar Land Rovers? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

But it is all worn out, it was like that when I bought it about nine years ago for $300.00 A piece of the old license plate on it that haden't rusted completly off says 1967. That is probaly the last year it was ever driven anywhere. |

And safe too, with the gas tank under the seat. ;-) Then there's the always-fun 3 pedals on the floor, throttle and spark advance on the column, and combo in-gear/brake lever also on the floor. I guess it qualifies as "no syncromesh" since the high / low shifting is all done by the pedal-controlled bands in the transmission. http://www.modelt.ca/drive-fs.html http://www.barefootsworld.net/ford-t-4-beginners.html |
