no problems there , my 1st car , the 'purple sloaper' , my mates called it , a purple Wolsely 4/44 ( 4 cylinders and 44 horse power ) that had no 1st or 2nd gear ! , it was that guttless that more than once I had to stop attempting a hill in 3rd , stop

do a 3 point turn and reverse over the top ,, how embarrasing ! Not a good way to impress a girlfriend .

It could take off in 3rd on a flat ,, SLOWELY ! ...
maybe thats why I like faster cars today .
