Thanks, I appreciate the compliment, and I am not trying to mislead anybody.
I had a fully rebuilt Marlin Crower Transmission that someone stole.
Even when I was factory, shifting @ higher RPM sucked. I read where ZaZZn, and Suprahero both talk about how bad it is. The syncros were redesigned at some point, I am not sure what years.
I know this transmission has 180K on it. It is still working great except anything higher than factory 7M redline. It is holding the power fine it seems. I always baby the car and I almost always just roll on it.
I do not know anybody who is shifting at 8K rpm on the R-154 like it's nothing. I do not want to lower my redline.
I just want my built R-154 back. I am bitter, so I will describe the agony of high RPM shifts. I should be making all of them.
