X2 on the Jerico and G-Force transmissions.

My brother had a 71 Chevelle back in the mid 70's with a small block. Low 12 sec street car. Pretty fast in it's day. I spent most Saturday mornings taking those Muncie transmissions out of the car because they were broke. If we were lucky, it would make it through Saturday night. Big brother was hard on parts.There wasn't a part in a trans he didn't break. Broke the shifter off the tailhousing several times. Then he would shift gears by pushing and pulling the rods by hand to get home.

He finally lost his license (surprise) and I became chauffeur. I was good enough or lucky enough to never have broken a trans in that car, but I do remember how hard I had to pull that shifter to get it into gear and how important it was to get it completely in gear while still holding the gas petal to the floor. H-pattern shifter at that. 3200# pressure plate.

If you miss a shift with a G-Force, you have something broke or out of adjustment.
