SHIFTING all-the-time ? ... if you have a ballsey motor ... no need to.

I have a 62 Plymouth with a torquey 440, a 65 Hemi converter and a 2.76 gear.

Street driving it normally ...I take-off in THIRD GEAR ...and YES with a 2.76 gear. It does not take-off like a rocket-ship .. but it keeps up with traffic fine.

No ProblemO ....
