FIGURE 1
This stop ring may not be installed on clutch gear
shafts not so fitted at the factory due to clearance
between the constant mesh gear and direct drive
(high gear) teeth. This w a s affected by a slight
change in machined clearance preparatory to the
change.
This change began in production on standard
transmission (1.65:1 Second speed gear), Dec. 29,
1948 after 22645 cars of 490 series. All other trans-
missions have had the stop ring on main drive gear
since January 18, 1949.
If necessary to replace the stop ring proceed as
follows:
1. Straighten the eight locking ears of the stop ring.
2. Remove lock ring and ring center (die cast).
3. Insert the new stop ring and ring centers and turn
ring center in the stop ring 1/4 turn to line up re-
cesses in the ring center with the 8 locking ears on
the stop ring.
4. Install wire lock ring and bend all locking ears in
recesses as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Use a small drift and a light hammer for
this operation.
SECTION 10
HUDSON DRIVE-MASTER
CONDITION NO. 8 - PAGE 10-14
Paragraph "C" should read: Follow with Drive-
Master Adjustments No. 3, 5 and 7 in order. Also check
"Vacumotive Drive Adjustments" No. 4 and 6.
CONDITION NO. 10 - PAGE 10-14 NOISY
CROSS-OVER
This is due to looseness in the transfer diaphragm
rod ball joint. See "Drive-Master Adjustment" No. 1,
Page 10-11.
INSTRUMENT PANEL SWITCH - PAGE 10-16
Add the following note: The 10 ampere fuse has
been replaced with a 15 ampere fuse on all cars
equipped with Drive-Master built after May 20,
1949.
Under certain operating conditions it was f o u n
d that the momentary current draw was sufficiently
high to part the element without having blown the
fuse, this was very difficult to see, yet the circuit
would be broken causing the unit to become inoper-
ative.
This is one of the first points that should be
checked in case of an inoperative unit, replace the 10
ampere fuse with a 15 ampere fuse.
TRANSMISSION SWITCH - PAGE 10-19
The "Neutral and Limit Switch Check" paragraphs
2 and 3 should read:
2. Move power lever to second (to the rear of car).
Gear shift lever in neutral.
