it's not that hard. pr you'll just get used to it. it's really easy for me. also to adjust the shift points you don't have to remove the whole truck. just take off the little rubber dust boot. with 2 fingers and vola

Yes, you're the only one that feels that way no J/K, some think the savage is a little more complex but tuffer<-- not an actual word but any way good truck. Is it an X or just an old .25+ mods?

Neither it is the limited edition with the 3 speed and you can not adjust the trans from outside or at least not the first and second only third

Either this truck shift as soon as I get on the throttle or it is taking off in second gear I can never hear it ever shift the only way you can hear it is hold the truck off the ground and it will shift twice like it is supposed to do but on the ground you will never hear it and when I first got it it would ride wheelie until you let off and it will no even get the front end in the air at all now seems like when it is cold and not warmed up yet something is slipping like it is stuck in second gear and realy struggling to pull itself has anyone ever heard of this or had the same problem

adjust the shift pints a tad earlier. also jsut really ease on the throttle and go slow you can hear it shift better like that
