My truck has about 20 1/4 mile passes and the 3rd gear synchros are starting to show signs of eminent failure. The shift from 2nd to 3rd is brutal on NV4500's. My truck has gotten so bad, so quickly, I have decided to not race it anymore.

I love to drag race but have to agree, auto's are for drag racing, manuals are for towing.

By the way, my tranny was completely rebuilt 20K miles ago with new mainshaft, secondary shaft, bearings, synchros, seals, etc. My tranny is overfilled 1 qt with the recommended syntorq synthetic gear oil. Tranny has been smooth as silk until a few months ago when I started drag racing at the track.
