    Why so hard to shift gears

    Many thanks for those pictures, and for everyone’s advice, much appreciated. I took the bell housing off the clutch, intending to clean the friction surfaces with brake cleaner. But I can’t really see what’s going on inside the cover, can’t see any interface to be cleaned (with or without...

    Why so hard to shift gears

    Got the clutch pan off today. Lots of black dust in there, I haven't cleaned off the disk yet, but I suspect there's a new clutch in my future.. Where can I buy the parts? Does anyone offer a kit? Thanks!

    Why so hard to shift gears

    Hi All, Thanks for the suggestions. Shifting is gradually getting a bit easier, with practice. If anyone could post pictures of the pin that locates the shifter lever, that'd help. RPM level is about right, I think. Here's a new but related question: In 4th gear, something feels wrong, it...

    Why so hard to shift gears

    Hi All, I recently bought a 1952 M37 from a fire department. It runs and drives, but I’m struggling with how rough and sloppy the gearshift is. Such a workout to change gears, I expected to find no oil in the gearbox, yet it’s full. Not the first time I’ve driven an old truck, I have a ’70...

    M37 spark plugs

    Thanks for all the input. My '52 M37 (bought recently from a Fire Department) has Champion J11C plugs, no adapters, it starts and runs fine. Has a 12V system. What's the purpose of the adapters? Seems like I'm missing something..

    Plug for clutch bell housing ?

    Hi All, Newbie here.. just bought a 1952 M37 from a fire department. It has an open, unsealed port in the bottom of (I think) the clutch bell housing. Thread size appears to be 1"-12 but am not certain. Why does a dry clutch have this port - for inspection? This bell housing is...

    M37 lubricants and fluids

    Hi All, I’m a newbie here, proud owner of a 1952 M37 bought from a fire department. Questions about engine oil: 1. Most who’ve posted here are using 15W-40. When I look up that oil, it’s always referred to as for DIESEL. Am I missing something? 2. For those using Rotella, does that mean...
