Nothing new to report except that I've confirmed what Roy suggested and that I can drop it into 2nd gear after getting up to speed and it down shifts, which means I've been starting off in 2nd gear all this time. Also, it won't let me drop down in low from the get go. I have to drive it and then come to a stop before the shifter lets me go all the way down to first gear. Don't know why. Not worried because it does not strain to start off in second gear. I'm not hard on it from a dead start and certainly am not racing it. I'll budget some time and money so I can drop by a transmission shop to ask for some diagnostic help. Thanks for asking for the update BC52.
