I just looked the car up on the White Glove website and that’s a nice looking car, Leon. Congratulations. I had a Model C sedan with the 4-speed I drove for 9 years on tours, CARavans, and even from Minnesota to New Hampshire for the 1999 PAS Meet. I rarely used 1st gear, treating it just like a standard pattern 3 speed. The only problem I ever had was engaging the lower gear at a stop sign or stoplight. The gears just didn’t want to slow down enough to mesh well when I first got the car. The solution was to use 600W transmission gear lube available from Model T sources rather than the lighter 90 W it came with. Once I put the gooey stuff in there, the problem was solved and never recurred. Good luck with it. They are great drivers.
