Hi everyone, I finally got a day off yesterday and went out and adjusted the rod a little and now it seems to have helped a little. It still drops down into passing gear, when I step on it hard at 40 mph, so I think everything is good. I called the previous owner and he said the shift kit was a...

LOL ! I hope that works 67dart273. Yea, Oldmanrick, I have a feeling it's a strong transmission, and it is just more the fact that I'm not use to it yet. I will try shortening the rod a couple turns and see what that does. Thanks for everyones help!

my car is a 1970 340 duster, and I do have a 70 and a 71 shop manual, ( they used to be my dads) and I'v been studying them in my free time. Thankyou 73Abodee for posting that info.

I know some history on the car, and the previous owner did indeed install some kind of shift kit, but I don't know what brand. It's the first car I have owned with a shift kit, so maybe it's normal, and it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Hi all, I have a question. I have recently bought a 340 duster, and only drove it a few times. I took it out for a ride today, as the weather was really nice here, and anyway, I know the car has a shift kit, put in by the previous owner, but I think it shifts a little to harsh ( I guess that...
