  1. Back to the 3.03 transmission

    I changed back to the 3.03 transmission, 9” flywheel, and associated parts last Monday and Tuesday. I was getting tired of the slipping clutch, it grinding into gear, and the shifter jamming. The 3.03 didn’t want to line up at all this time, but I eventually worked ...
