5th gear "crunching" with shift

Great... just what I didn't want to start happening. If this is widespread, those of us with short shift kits may have to reverse the install before bringing them in.

Unfortunately with my constant issues, I didn't install a short shifter because of that exact reason.. 4 trans replacements later.. probably did the right thing.

But funny.. doesn't happen to everyone, and we've sold a ton of short shifters and had zero problems.

It's tough when they don't actually "fix" anything or know the problem, besides just throwing a whole transmission at it.

It sounded like they definitely tried some improvements for the 370's tranny over the 350 - it will be a shame if it didn't solve the problems.

I wouldn't be surprised if the labor is so high on internal transmission fixes that it's not just cheaper to do a swap. And who knows - maybe they take the old ones back in and refurbish them for the next swap...
