I have a 1955 Plymouth 3 spd. I try not to shift into 1st unless at full stop. I believe it is because the transmission does not have synchromesh in first gear. Therefore you have to spin up the gears by double clutching to mesh the gears if not stopped when going down to 1st gear. Great car! One of my favorite Plymouths.
I stumbled on this video watching engine builds. I own a 48 Plymouth business coupe and I am currently re-building the engine. It is a 217 ci not a 218 ci Canadian block like yours so I am told. I noticed the union tag on the car, like you I am a firefighter (30years) in Virginia local 2801. You are doing a great job on the car. If I can figure out how, I will send a pic of mine. I recently picked up an overdrive 3 speed for my car. It will make it easier to keep up with traffic around here. Great videos
@@partsandresto You can double clutch if you have to, to approximate the gear speeds for first. If you're under 5mph you can feel the gear and jam it into first quickly without issue. I have a 35 DeSoto i learned the hard way on, it becomes second nature very quickly.
I love the '46-'48 Plymouth sedans. Just a classic '40's car. My father had one in the early '50's and often talks about it - bubble skirts, visor, spinners, and spats. There was also one for sale in my neighborhood on a corner by my bus stop in the '70's. It was always open, and my friend and I would sit in it. Love '30's-'40's cars.
I just got a 49 from a neighbor who has 2 and I got for cheap just getting it put back together great video hopefully I will be able to send pictures 🎉
Glad to see it on the road again. Your shifting has improved greatly. In regards to downshifting, particularly to first while moving, research the double clutch maneuver. Maybe your Dad has done it in the past and can show you. It's not really hard but it is a technique that takes practice. Loved the gag reel.
Congrats on a successful journey! Looking forward to seeing the progress. The first time I drove a stick shift on city streets I snubbed it about a dozen times backing out of my parents driveway...then I noticed the parking brake was still on. So leaving it in 3rd at a stoplight isn’t too bad at all.
The South Philly Sista's never seen delux without a shine job I guess. Success is measured in not being cited for moving violations. Look forward to the remaining steps you will be making. Best wishes.
Great to see the Flathead out on the road again Dave! Thanks for the ride slong. As mentioned before, 1st gear is not synchronized so you have to be at a complete stop to go into it. (If not, I have a TH-cam video on how to replace the Cluster gear! 😉😉😉) Ride the clutch in second gear if you're still slowly rolling. Funny bloopers! I never get my intros in one take, either.
damn good job, I was actually convinced you didn't have brakes and were stopping the car with the clutch until about halfway through. the lady with the dog was pretty damn funny as well
Great job! U are becoming a pro with the clutch! If it’s hard to downshift to first gear, wait till you come to a complete stop before shifting into first. Maybe your clutch needs adjustment? A little lower idle helps with that on older transmissions as well. Is first gear synchromesh? Starting on a hill, you can put your right heal on the brake and feather the throttle with your right toes, or you can use the parking brake to hold your place and let it go as you let out the clutch and throttle up. Your practice is definitely paying off, well done!
Hey! I have that exact same car! Mine has sat since 1964, but the engine is still free. I haven’t attempted to run it yet, I hope to get to it this winter sometime. Anyway, I remember a business trip to Philadelphia back in the 80’s when I was fresh out of College and on my first job. We arrived in the late afternoon and checked into our hotel and went to dinner. Afterward, I expected to go back to the hotel and turn in for the night. But the boss had other ideas. He, myself and another fresh recruit got into a cab and the boss said: “Take us to 13th and Locust!” The cabbie just smiled and said “Yes suh!” A few minutes later we arrived at an establishment called “All in the Family”. I have to say this was quite the experience for a country boy who was born and raised on the Montana prairie. We came outta there smelling like stale beer and cigarettes, but a good time was had by all, especially the boss who brought back one of the girls to the hotel.
Super cool brother! I'm over here in Altoona PA and I just built a 48 dodge ove the past year on my channel. I built it into a gasser. I'm diggin your channel and it's great to see someone as obsessed with the old days as I am. Keep up the good work man!
Mechanically this is like my first car, a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe 2-door. That is until we swapped the six and 3-on the tree for a 440 and Torqueflite. I have owned this car for 49 years now.
Great job! My 1952 does 70 mph and will be even faster when I install a 1953 overdrive unit. You can roll through corners in second gear just fine. No need to drop down into first. You can drop it into lower gears if you raise the engine rpms, synchronizing it with the transmission mainshaft you will have less gear clash, which is the same principle as shifting without the clutch. Not something you want to do regularly but it’s a nice skill to have to limp home if you ever have clutch issues. Engine braking sucks gas $$$$ so it’s best used only in emergency situations!
1948 Plymouths came with a 3.9 rear end and the after 51 the three speeds came wits 3.7 rear end. When you put the BW Overdrive trans in look for a flat spot on the third member and the gear ratios are stamped on there at the factory and 4.11 or 4.3 were for cars with Overdrive. I had a 1948 Deluxe in 1976 that I put the OD in and found out the engine would lug on a slight grade in third gear overdrive and that went away when I put 4.11 gears in the car, and it sailed really nice at 70MPH down Main Jet and I picked up a 70 MPH coupon from the CHP Officer going through Redding CA , when the speed limit had been lowered to 55. I noticed Daves engine seemed to be idling high and agree that makes it hard to bring it back to first without a full stop. Double clutching and synchronizing your engine rpm with the speed of the trans is a learned skill,
1:54 'Slow down, Daddy!' Mickey said it best previously, and you will get the hang of it. It's more like operating a machine that driving a modern car. Ain't it fun!
Great vid. My seats are off to the upholsterer this weekend. Just ordered a full set of floors from the Plymouth Doctor. He's about 2 weeks out. I'm eagerly awaiting your rocker video to get some ideas. Mine are rotted out and I need to carefully peel back the rust to see how they are put together. Outer rockers seem fine, it's the inner ones I'll have to fab. Good luck!
I drove my 48 Chevy Sport Coupe (corvette) to work yesterday... I will have to add 30mins to any trip when I have to get gas... because of all the photos and discussions it causes..lol
I watched 2 vids of you. I had to insta sub on the engine rebuild. My dad did repairs like this 30 years ago. Somehow they had less gear back then. And what an era fitting outfit for the first ride. :-) Even your workshop and garage building appears to be era fitting. You think you will have the time in the future to read all comments. Forget about that. Because one day soon you will hit 1M with your content. And you havent even started yet. You will grow your YT skills while going. And I will enjoy watching. That was a nice shakedown cruise with this beautiful car. GJ! BTW does it have a synchronized gearbox? I have to ask, do you think a Cummins 12 valve would fit into this car? :D
Your type of shifter is called having “three on the tree.” First gear is not synchronized but for fun you can learn to “double clutch” to match the engine speed so you can downshift to first on the fly. Truck drivers used to have to do it for engine breaking.
Nice car. Here is another hint that my father showed me ( a long time ago) when shifting from low to second, place the palm of your hand on top of the shifter, that way , when you push up, you won't hit reverse.
Epic stop sign run at 2:40. I did a lot of those street back in 1968 in a 55 Chevy....Philly area ....stop signs every 200 feet ....what a nightmare place to drive....nice ride nonetheless
Can I suggest you look up what doubling the clutch will do for your gear changes? Its a driving style, not a mechanical thing and will help with changing down, stopping those grinding of the gears.
Hey Dave, My 48 isn’t as far along as yours but I’ll get there. Where are you getting you sheet metal for the floor repair? I need a few formed panels and the rest I can cut and form myself. The car looks great by the way
Hey bud. I got a toe board from classic to current fabrication. I bought my sheet metal in person from a steel supplier in my area. A piece of 18ga 4x8 foot was like 50 bucks if not less
@@partsandresto yup. I’m looking for a project for myself too but finding a project car that isn’t super expensive isn’t very easy especially in my area where we got a decent car scene
Bummer. Keep an eye on Facebook marketplace, and if you have anything cool or valuable to trade maybe reach out to some people selling their cars cheap and see if he’ll trade you like I did.
My 98 Chevy pick up truck was worth about $1000 and I messaged close to 50 people who were selling their antique cars before I had two people interested and I chose the nicer of the two
Awesome drive. Was that sports complex where the old veterans stadium was? I was stationed out there at the shipyard in 84. Loved philly back then....Cool ride.
For first to second shifting, hold your palm down as you are going toward second, you will never hit reverse doing it that way. It sounds like your idle is too high which will make shifting difficult.
You need to double clutch going back into first. It's not synchro in first. Also, first is just used to get rolling: if you're rolling even a little, just use the torque of the engine in second gear.
Those are some beautiful cars man! But work on that shifting man! Lol! You were making me cringe. I have a 40 Plymouth 4 door and you were making my heart jump with that gear grinding! LoL! Enjoy the car and looking forward to the updates!
yea 1st gear only from dead stop, roll thru stops in 2nd, if your going to down shift just give a quick rev to the motor as your shifting to 2nd, that will help sync the gears. you can do the same on upshifts its called double clutching it helps the gears mesh on old transmissions. before you know it you will be able to speed shifting it buddy.
Hey i have 49 special deluxe and my rear axle is offset to the right passenger side any chance u can tell me if its fixable and how ? Please and thanks
What do pay for an old car like that now sir I am trying two find old one but I want a four banger with a three speed on the column with 13 on her thanks and be safe sir you and yours
Dave, ya gotta be stopped when you put it in 1st gear. Start using 2nd gear for rolling around corners. Your transmission is not the fully synchronized type.
A good thing he isn’t drinking in San Francisco or Seattle! He needs to learn that there is no synchro of first gear! He has already damaged the transmission!
The reason your car "doesn't like to go into first" is because it's a non synchronized transmission, you shouldn't be downshifting into first gear while you're moving, unless you double clutch the car
@@partsandresto Your series is great and I am following. I'm at 9th and Bainbridge if you can drive by sometime from your shop. Keep up the project and good luck!

Sometimes my 1950 will clash gears when going from neutral to first. I found that if I go up to 2nd then into 1st that it doesn't happen.
I can confirm, No Synchro in 1st.

Good video. Don't downshift to first until at a dead stop. You can stay in second when rolling slowly.
You'll get it!

Tip from an old guy. Your palm should be on top of the shift knob not underneath. This will keep you from accidentally shifting into reverse.

Dave, ya gotta be stopped when you put it in 1st gear. Start using 2nd gear for rolling around corners. Your transmission is not the fully synchronized type.

Was out of adjustment by a mile
A good thing he isn’t drinking in San Francisco or Seattle! He needs to learn that there is no synchro of first gear! He has already damaged the transmission!
Fun fact only 18% of drivers can use a standard transmission (in the USA)
Pennsylvania? Definitely have a zombie problem. 1st gear isn't synchronized you have to double clutch down shifting into 1st. Nice car!
I'm a simple man : like then I watch the video
I own a 1946 Plymouth P15, has anyone put A/C in their car? Thanks, need info
The reason your car "doesn't like to go into first" is because it's a non synchronized transmission, you shouldn't be downshifting into first gear while you're moving, unless you double clutch the car
Geezz.. isn't she idling a tad too much!! And I think you've smoothed out the gears a little!!
Dont shift into first gear while moving. It is NON synchromesh. You will destroy the transmission. You must stop then downshift into first.
Or learn the art of "double clutching."
Thank you Joel, I had no ifea
