| -2- (12) Gearbox. When in overdrive the gear lever clicks every time the throttle is closed. The lever rattles on torque reaction periods. The second speed cannot always be engaged because of cone sticking. The reverse gear now running on the shaft with twice the original slant is held in by 4 lbs. selector spring, but still just works out if started by hand. (13) The wireless is far from good and crackles if turned up on a weak station. (14) There is no light in the car not wired through the master switch.
