Chirping the tires in 2nd

[larrym]

A loose converter will minimize the bark same thing with drag radials.

For me, the best 2nd gear bark came with my old GN with a stock trans, sonnax super servo, and with the TV cable set back a notch or two to increase line pressure. When the trans was swapped with a built trans and converter, shifts were quick and firm but the 2nd gear chirp was gone. Instead, it just continued to shred the tires in 2nd if I stayed into it. Same with the trans I have now in my Limited. Shifts quick and firm and is much better than a stock trans but it doesn't have that hard 2nd gear bark.

Back in '87 I installed a B&M shift kit. I wanted it just a little firmer so I installed the heavy duty towing parts and it shifted softer than stock. I imidiately installed the rest of the parts for the race /strip option and it shifted the same as stock again.
I ran it this way until 1990, when reading the ATR catalog and saw their Art Carr shift kit offered. I had heard really good things about Art Carr so bought a new seperator plate, removed the B&M and installed the Art Carr kit.
It shifted very firm and solid and have been running it ever since. I don't know if anyone sells this kit anymore or something similar.
I would not waste my time or money on the B&M shift kit unless they changed something over the years.

5CR 6CR 7CR 305 H V-8 Chevy . Not the SS version. You probably don't have the 2200 D5 converter. This would also mean that the D6 1400 converter, this would explain the car not acting right...
