OWNER’S MANUAL 9

The operation of the Hudson Six follows standard practice in many respects;

however, even those accustomed to Hudson products may refresh their memories

The clutch is disengaged in the conventional manner by depressing the left foot

pedal to release the engine drive from the transmission. Automatic clutch control

is available and the control button is located as shown in Figure I. When the

control button is pushed in, the automatic clutch control becomes operative. The

The transmission operation conforms to the standard shift. The clutch must be

disengaged (either by using the pedal or by removing the foot from the accelerator

The "Electric Hand" transmission control, which is available as a factory-

installed option, has a small lever, Figure la, conveniently located just under the

rim of the steering wheel. This lever has five positions arranged in the form of the

letter 1-3 corresponding to the neutral, three forward and reverse positions of the

standard transmission shifting lever. This lever is easily moved to any of the

sary to lift up on the lever and at the same time push forward in order to get into

The control is electrical while the actual shifting is accomplished by vacuum

power from the engine intake manifold. The control is inter-connected with the

ignition switch and a circuit breaker on the clutch pedal, making it necessary to

have the ignition turned on and the clutch pedal depressed (clutch disengaged)

before the system is energized to accomplish a shift of gears. The starter is also

inter-connected with a circuit breaker on the clutch pedal, requiring the clutch to

be disengaged before the engine can be started. This is a safety feature, preventing

the car from being moved should the engine be started while the transmission is

purpose. By removing the cover in the floor mat, which exposes the top of the

made after the clutch pedal has been depressed. The toggle switch on the selector

Your Hudson Six has been designed in accordance with the best practices

determined by years of experience and built under the most rigid standards of

precision. Before shipment from our factory, each mechanical unit was supplied

with the proper quantity of correct lubricant to give maximum protection to the

finely finished working parts. In fact, every precaution has been taken to put in

your hands an unexcelled mechanism, properly protected against premature wear.

Extreme care has been exercised in selecting and testing each lubricant used and

there is, therefore, no necessity of replacing any lubricants until the normal
