Legend Gear 700 trans

Not sure if we're on the same page. There's no lift lock. pinion angle was set. Nothing is touching anything. I use Royal Purple Syncro Max, it was one of only 4 recommended fluids by the manufacturer. PS when driving it I love the splits on the gears behind my 400hp 340/ 3.23 geared cruiser. thanks

I totally get you on the splits; I have almost the exact same splits in my combo
(.62-.73-.78-.71od; compared to your
.67-.73-.77-.68od) with about the same engine power. I could easily run 3.23s, but prefer 3.55s. .
As to the lift-loc
How do you engage reverse? I assumed you have to lift the reverse loc-out Tee-lever just below the ball,, which IMO is too close to the ball. Am I wrong?
I grab my shifter from the side like it was a revolver. They say I have big hands, so I like a big ball, on my shifter. With my A-833, I like an 8" stick, to make sure I never miss a shift. When I go for third, I put all 220 pounds of me into it, And I'm afraid I might break that little short thing, or slip off the tiny chrome ball.Which would drive my fist straight into the metal dash, with broken bones and loss of income following. At age 65,steady income is very important.
Well not all 220, but I moved the shifter back between the buckets and raised it up. So now I can put some serious shoulder into it without flinging my body at it like I used to
