MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ....
Both manual transmissions are synchronized for smooth and easy shifting. The 3·Speed shift lever is mounted on the steering column -the 4·Speed is floor-mounted at the driver's right hand, or on the forward end of the Console, if so equipped. For smoother acceleration always shift from low to second to high with a 3-Speed trans­mission, and from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 if your car is equipped with a 4-Speed transmission, see illustration. Do not shift to Reverse when car is moving.
Shifting Gears: When shifting gears: (1) Depress clutch pedal to floor. (2) Move shift lever to desired position. (3) Release clutch pedal a nd press down on accelerator peda I at the same time. Do not drive with your foot on the clutch pedal as this will cause abnor­mal clutch wear.
Down Shifting: Moving from high down to the lower gears in descending numerical order is recommended to preserve the brakes when driving down steep hills and to save gasoline when going up steep hills. Use second gear to improve traction when pulling out o f deep mud, sand or snow.
Towing: Car should not be towed more than 25 miles in Neutral, at speeds not to exceed 30 mph. If the transmission is not operative, or the car is to be towed more than 25 miles, the propeller shaft should be disconnected or the car towed with the rear end off the ground.
