Re: Re: ’55 11BN in Vancouver

Actually, the bolt that holds the cover is horizontal and faces the front of the car. The two on top hold the shift rods in place. Look where the vertical rods attach to the gear box and you will see the one bolt. Remove the bolt, the tin cover and the fabric dust cover (there should be one) and you will see the TEE coming out of the gearbox and the two-pronged fork that is part of the clutch release bearing. Loosen the vertical bolt that is part of the bearing holder and spread the fork gap to about 1/4 inch, it shouldn’t need more, tighten it and that should do it.
