We had a call from our friend yesterday saying that our tranny was finished and we decided to pick the car up today The tranny shifted flawlessly and I flew home over 60 miles one way It runs awsome    Ray from Canada

    I drove the Hudson home 60 miles and yesterday afternoon I went to Westlock with the Hudson 22 miles round trip What a great running and driving car I cant get over how good it works.   To morrow I take the car to HO Down about 45 miles one way for a day of fun. A parade to but will not go in it until the engine and tranny are well broke in.  Hudsonly Ray

    Ray, DO NOT GO IN THE PARADE !!! You just might get behind a group that are walking. VERY hard on a Hudson. Forget it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going 1 mile per hour for a mile plus--yeah !!

    I went to the ho down parked the car near where my wife and I were selling our farmers market stuff .I did not go in the parade but the car drove excellant except the hood kept popping up on to safety I adjusted it 4 times loosening every time but now I do not know Does the spring that hooks to lever to pop open the hood need to be there. Tranny shifts beautiful. Ray

    Ray, maybe your springs are worn? Mine are VERY tight. Wildrick sells new ones, if interested.
