Yea Denny, this thing grinds unless I come to a complete stop and now with my new 3:55 R&P (with completely rebuilt rear end
) I'm needing that 2nd gear if I'm still rolling and barely stopped, whereas before I could use 3rd without lugging the engine.
It did seem odd to me that a tranny that stayed in production as long as it did would have such a fundamental shortcoming. Luckily, this is an easy rebuild.
