erik litchy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 If I wind out first gear I have to wait a several seconds before I can shift to second-damn that stock flywheel. if I shift earlier than that it bogs. what is the best RPM to shift to 2nd for economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Change your gear lube first - your synchros are messed up - if your clutch is in and properly adjusted, there is no connection between your tranny and flywheel - actually your flywheel has little to do with your shifts I usually shift mine at about 3-4k rpms, the SR and DR trannies are the same save the input shaft - (looked at FSM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballitch Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 are you using the clutch? if so then it sounds like you should drop a quart of ATF in there for a hundred miles or so and then refill with some part or fully synthetic gear oil.....75w-90 works good, maybe throw in a quart of SAE 30 wt. in place of one quart of gear oil, that will help your cold shifts. besides that, shift at about 3-4k in a 4 cyl. unless you really feel like givin' her hell. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
