Doc, she shifts fine from 1-2. A little firm as always, but just like the day I got her.
I've owned her since new in '91, and everything is exactly as it was except for this little double-bump in 2-3 after I replaced the K-1 plates.

I only went in because reverse was clicking, and sure enough the B-3 plates were worn out. The K-1 was sitting there on the bench, and I had these new plates, and, well, you know.

She shifts pretty good 2-3 under very light load; but under normal load, there's just this double-shift thing. Not harsh at all, just a little delay, but no flare- at the first "bump" the engine speed seems to come down, not up like a flare.

Tks,
DG
