It seems my 3 speed only shifts once and you can barely hear it. From a dead stop, I have to creep the truck slowly to hear the shift. What can I do to check it? How do you adjust the 3rd gear (can you?) Am I losing top end speed?
It can be hard to hear the shifts over the engine noise. I'm so used to mine that I barely hear it. Anyways, a too rich tune will not allow the engine to hit third. Adjust the carb HSN before adjusting the trans. If you must adjust the trans, the 2-3 shift can be adjusted without pulling the trans apart. Just turn the adjuster clockwise for a later shift and counter clockwise for a earlier shift. [8D]
