By flipping the linkages I was referring to putting the tabs facing down instead of up, so was I. Flipping the linkage levers only affects which way; forward or back, you move the stick, to select whichever gears are in the chosen gate.
not flipping from left to right. It sounds like you're saying syncros or possibly the fluid is too thick. Hyup.
I guess I will have to pray that it's the fluid and try that first.Good plan
If I can't get away with that, I suppose the 3spd has to come out. Probably
This thing has caused me so many issues, and I just put a ton of money into it. If it's gotta come out again, a 4spd is going in. Mine comes out in 17 minutes, once it's jacked up on the hoist...and I have the additional chore of taking the exhaust off first, and then the GVOD. Fortunately it now is all aluminum.
4-speeds have the very same problems, plus one,lol.
I live in Wisconsin. The truck will be driven during the fall/spring/summer. Once in a while we will have a few really hot days of summer (100F, but rare.) It' s usually about 80ish.same as here...about
Will this be too hot to run straight ATF? I would feel sorry for the poor cluster-pin.
I suppose I could go back to do the mix of 2 qt ATF and 1 Gear oil. You could try that for sure, but , in a hard-working pick up I think I would run 50/50. I have over 100,000 miles on my A833 with 50/50.
But above all; no synthetics; they are just too slippery.
