I forgot about this thread...lol


In the 96, I never need to adjust because with the 4.10...I'M ALWAYS IN 5TH!!!


However, the Termi is gonna take getting used to. 6th is up and not back, so that's weird. And shifting into 5th, I fear going into Reverse, but I don't think that could happen. I would think they have it blocked when you are moving forward.

There is a reverse lockout solenoid in the T56's. Works with the ECU and the speed sensor.

The times I have forgot what gear I'm in (can count them on one hand over 7 years), I was so out of it, I wouldn't even know to look at the indicator if I had one.

Okay, that sounds good. I figured that, just wasn't 100%. The first 6 speed I drove was my Dad's GT500 with about 200 miles on it. I didn't even shift into 5th on the highway the first time I drove it. I was so nervous. I skipped from 4th to 6th... Now, it's no problem when I drive his car. I love the shifting of that 6spd, more than mine.

Nah, I just need one that will put the tranny into 3rd automatically. I have a device that tells me when I miss. It makes this real loud winding sound and the little red needle goes up over 6,000.

I rarely forgot what gear I was in when I dailied my 89 GT but when I got my quiet SHO I would be cruising at 65 on the highway in third gear and not even notice it for a while. lol

I'm most guilty of trying to upshift after I'm already in 5th gear. I must have had a 6 speed car in a past life, haha.

HAHA...we had a customer buy a transmission off of us. He bought a new Ranger and he drove from the airport to this side of town where he lived in 2nd gear on the highway..and it was an automatic. This guy was a complete moron, I don't know how he didn't know the RPM's were screaming, but he burnt it up.
