Re: {Chrysler 300} Manual G in MD on eBay

["'Peter Pellicani' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chrysler made a special rear gear ratio for the 3 speed manual transmission, it is a 3:58 to 1.  I also have the sure-grip differential.  For the non-believers it is listed on page 29, Group 3 Rear Axle, of the 1961 Service Manual Supplement.  I would agree with you if it was a highway ratio rear.

The difficulty in using the 3-speed manual you have is dependent upon the rear gear in the car. With tall highway gears that 3-speed would be a liability. With more aggressive shorter rear gearing it would be fine. What do you have for rear gears?

Wow, a lot of negative responses to the manual transmission cars of 1961.  

I'm driving the A745 transmission since 1972, with over 200,000 miles on the car.  I consider myself an expert on the use of the transmission.  The first clutch was replaced at 153,000 miles, yes thats right.  I don't know the comment about burning the clutch up,

just possibly you don't know how to handle the clutch pedal. Don rebuilt my transmission and the only thing it needed was the second gear synchro.....  Not bad for a 60 year old transmission that survived many races during my teenager years.

I rather drive a standard transmission anytime anywhere over an automatic.

I suppose if you wanted to buy a manual car in 1961, you knew how to double de-clutch.  Not a common skill  these days.

 

What I found interesting in the road test was it had braking distances.  This was not included very often back then.  I calculated these distances gave an average deceleration of about 1g.  Pretty good even today.
