I got a "deal" on a cast iron saganaw a while back. Have had it in and out several times, adjusted the linkage so many times I don't remember, and pulled the inspection plate to make sure there was nothing catastrophic wrong. It is hard to shift, it sounds like it doesn't make it out of one gear before it tries to go into another. Reverse sounds like a thrashing machine. It hangs up sometimes when I shift it with my hand while it is on the floor of my shop. Sometimes it doesn't.I think its in the tranny and not in the shifter. What do you think? How about those $90 kits from JCW?
