Ok this is a two part question..
What engine does your Dak have in it?
Bruce, mrdancer
So you DO NOT think it would ba a good idea to drill out the 1-2 separator
plate to the .093? I realize it is easier to take more away than to add to
it...
I am going to install one of these in my truck probably next weekend, the
Dak is in serious need of a firmer 1-2 shift, I feel like it is a luxury
type vehicle...
Anyone else have any dealings with these shift kits??

The
