Nate, for the benefit of the highly ignorant (me!), what does it mean for 1st gear to be unsynchronized?? If you are taking off from a dead stop, what does this amount to?? how about downshifting into first? many thanks! John From: old-chevy

2 pounds medium grind like we used to say .    Wolf Sometimes at a dead stop, going into this gear the teeth hang up on each other and you have to let the cutch out just a little to spin the drive gears a little. Trick is to be subtle about it and not grind off a pound of teeth.

I ran into a guy who's grandpa had an advanced design GMC 4 spd and a potato farm...he said at harvest time they would put the truck in 1st and clip a clothes pin behind the hand throttle. The truck would drive itself in between the mounds of pototes at 2 or 3 mph while the family harvested. -
