i have a 66 chevy 1ton flatbed dually that i just got running today. this is the oldest truck ive ever owned, and the first stick. ive driven a couple sticks, but all of them were small cars. my question is; there is something comming out of the trans just to the right of the shifter stick. it has a handle on it with a lever. when i squeeze the lever i can hear something in the trans engage or disengage. i havent attempted to move it since i dont know what it is for and dont want to break anything. i know my truck is not a 4x4, i was thinking a granny low, or trans break maybe? oh and one more quick question; i dont know if its me or the truck, but something about first gear seems off. it just seems really low, should i be double clutching out of it, or should i just skip it all together? thanks in advance!
