No 3rd gear, actually seems worse.
Just an observation, now with the accumulator spring installed, reverse seems to be acting up and or not kicking in, but could be coincidence, or a worsening symptom of the real problem.
Used to come in solid before todays band aids.
First gear still solid but no jarring engagement like before, just firm.
Time to decide what route to take.With the Wife going for her RN, I am in charge of all things expensive, so taking into account the 318 has over a quarter inch of crank endplay,I was already planning a swap of some sort...
got lots of BB stuff ;-Thanks guys for the ideas and support!!!!Long live MOPARTS!!!!
