Temporary Repairs for Auto Low Gear
A Portland, Oregon reader explains a temporary fix for a burned out low gear friction band in light autos. By removing the transmission cover and loosening the low-gear band screw, strips of leather or heavy canvas are inserted to hold the band away from the drum, and a second strip is placed between the coil spring and the leather. Tightening the screw secures a nearly tight fit, allowing the car to reach high gear for several days until permanent repairs can be made.
