I had a customer drop off a 262 Hudson motor for me to start designing an adapter for a T5 5 speed. He's got a '37 Hudson coupe that he wants to drop this in and insists on having a manual. Pretty cool in my book...
Hudson has some fairly innovative designs back in the day. The used a wet clutch instead of the more common dry version. A stamped steel housing covered the clutch and pressure plate and sealed around the throw out bearing. The clutch sat in about 6 oz. of fluid. The one thing that strikes me as humorous is that the flywheel actually has drain plugs.
