Did you get any replies about your trans ? I'm not a trans expert, but it
sounds quite high to me.
What the difference between that tourqueflight and the ones they put in the
cars all the way up until the 80's ? They had tourque flights in all the cop
cars.
Just had a side note. I had a 76 Dodge motorhome and was doing some work on
it to find out it had a loadflight transmission in it. I had never heard of
one.
