61polara Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Reverse is in the same place as in a manual 3 speed transmission. Push the clutch in, move the lever to neutral, pull towards you and then up. Release the clutch and you are in reverse. Your transmission is vacuum shifted between two gears in the forward range. This was changed to hydraulic shift in 1946. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61polara Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Bill,The lock out and cable is used only in the vacuum shifted transmission. If yours has been changed to a 1946 or later hydraulic transmission their is no connection for the lock out cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
