Hi all,

I have a 56 Chevy pickup with a small block and an SM420 Muncie. When I let out the clutch to start in 2nd gear, it lurches severely unless I am extremely gentle with it. The pickup got a new clutch and flywheel when I put the V8 in last year, but it acted the same with the previous 235 and previous clutch. I put new synchros in about 10 years ago but have only driven 2K miles since. Is there any reason that synthetic transmission fluid would cause this? Any other thoughts? The motor mounts are good/new. Thanks.
