Re: TF- Auto to Manual tranny conversion

Practical says run and overdrive automatic and not bump the daughter every time you shift or get the wife to ride in the middle with the 5 speed and remember your high school days while shifting the 5 speed.

The other practical thing and probably the least hassle would be to fix the 400 and swap gears in the rear axle to something that is more road friendly .

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
