Not to be redundant but the hydraulics are really simple. Again Forte makes all the parts for push or pull system, although he doesn't advocate the pull system often.

You know how much we used to drag race the "DV". Never a problem hitting third gear, but on a hard shift it always ground a little going in - always, not like a quality top loader at all, but the 5th rear was nice and sixth was really blah in my opinion. We used 3:08's. 3:55's, 3:73's, finally settling on 3:55's. 70 75 MPH we would run around 1,800 to 1950 RPM.

3:55's, depending on Tree traction some times I could just make the finish without hitting 4th. 3:73's I would have to go 4th and that cost to much time and torque.

Settled on 3:55's and a little learning curve..
