    I had the same problem and found that the rods and bearings have to be turned "the right way". I don't remember what the sequence is. Do a search for hard to turn and see what shows up.

    Fuel economy

    Results of shifting before 2000 and easy on the gas only netted me 12.7 MPG in city driving. I am changing the accelerator pump to the lowest setting and am going to raise my shift point to 2500 which feels more natural and see what happens.

    Fuel economy

    I am running a stock "K" code exhaust. HIPO manifolds, "H" pipe and I think 2.25 tubes. I have not tried any of the hyper milage techniques.

    New Starter Squealing

    I had to shim mine out a little to keep it from staying engaged which made it squeal. I just made a shim to match the bellhousing opening with some steel the same thickness ans the plate that goes betwen the bellhousing and the block. I think the T5 plate is thinner.

    After 40 years my plastic handle broke. The new one broke after two weeks. This one will stay. I took the handle to Lowes, found a pipe thread that matched the OD of the shaft coming from the E-Brake, force threaded it to the handle, drilled and tapped a hole to match the hole in the shaft...
