ing 4th gear

possible to start the engine.
Starting should only be possible with selector
lever in neutral position or in gear but with knob
switch depressed.
3) Checking the Operation
of
Clutch Free-wheel.
With the car stationary on a level surface and
engine switched off, select any forward gear; in
this condition the car should be free to move back-
wards offering no resistance at
all
when pushed,
as if it were in neutral.
On the contrary. when pushed forward, the car
should offer more or less resistance according to
the gear engaged and behave in exactly the same
manner as a car fitted with conventional transmis-
sion having both gear and clutch engaged.
If no resistance at
all
is encountered when the
car is pushed forward, this is indicative of faulty
freewheel operation.
