MochetVelo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My first real drive in the Hupmobile was about a half-mile to the garage. It wasn't for repair, but for an "Enhanced Inspection." The 1964 Texas title contained the poisonous word "rebuilt", which my state (Pennsylvania) interpreted to mean "hot rod". Anyway, I had to have the car inspected by a special garage ($150) to prove it is the real thing. This was an opportunity to take the car out, other than in a parking lot. It started right up, the clutch works well, and it seems to have good power... at least on the straightaway. One question I have is: how hot is too hot in the radiator? It was too hot to touch, but it wasn't steaming. Also, do you double-clutch the gears or just throw it into the next gear like they say in the Book of Instructions?

JFranklin Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Save your transmission and double clutch, after a while you will do it automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I mistakenly posted this on the Maxwell Forum, though this is a Hupmobile. Thanks for the reply anyway. I've no experience with double-clutching, but I do know the principle. Time to practice!
