Yes Ray, had to make some adjustment when I first got the car. That though was due to slip so, although reverse clearly selected, it barely drove. The adjustment cured that but the later problem is that nothing selects in reverse, despite pumping the pedal full stroke repeatedly, then suddenly, bang it goes in.
What is unusual compared to Daimler or Lanchester is this has no fluid coupling so 1st and reverse have to be slip engaged so they are subject to more wear. The reverse set up is not like the forward adjusters which have the cam and spring arrangement. Its not like anything I have read about so not entirely clear how to adjust it.
