There's a first time for everything! How much trouble did u have putting it in......2nd gear?
~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~
haha, no problems w/ shifting. I stalled it right from the start because i didnt release the clutch quick enough. the only problem i had was braking, because my "instructor" failed to mention that you have to press the clutch when you brake, but i got it down pretty quickOriginally Posted by jetmech

Don't sweat it bro, it will come with practice. In my book, the best thing to remember is every clutch is different. Once you get a feel for a vehicle's clutch, you can drive any manual.

Did that guy put in a BBC 454? Ford didn't out a 7.4L motor in their trucks...they had a 7.3L/444 C.I diesel and a 7.5L/460 C.I. gas motor.
Awesome.A manual is my tranny of choice. I have seriously debated putting a T-56 in my truck several times...
LOL, with that truck, the 1st gear is a granny gear used for towing. Around town with no load, it is best to take off from a stop in second... But this is all guessing the truck has the stock drivetrain.There's a first time for everything! How much trouble did u have putting it in......2nd gear?
