My two problems with the drive train are: - Once the truck warms up, it has difficulties getting into 3rd without some "grinding" of the gears. When cold, it goes right into 3rd no issues - Putting the truck into first gear while the truck is in any motion, also results in some "grinding" of the gears. Is this typical? Is there a way to prevent this, or is this by design. Thanks in advance for your feedback. 1954 Chevy 3100
