| -2- the gears have come out of mesh, the gear lever has definitely been in its proper position, i.e. fully home in the quadrant. At other times when we have stated that the binding effect took place, although the gearlever felt to be in its proper position, we could feel a definite drag. Since our last report to you, we have had the 3rd gear come out of mesh twice. We will send you further details later. RE. PRE-IGNITION. If you think it advisable, would you send us out a set of K.L.G. plugs to overcome this trouble. (Signature) G.W. Hancock G.W.H. | ||
