Hi all - new guy here. I have a 1966 Belvedere, 838 4 speed. In March I invested and coughed up a lot of money and ordered the hemi overdrive from Passon. After two months, it finally arrived. After a couple of glitches with the spline and bearing housing, finally got it installed.
The gear ratios are excellent and the OD is awesome especially since I do a lot of highway cruising. Flowed through the gears smoothly everything was great until I downshifted to second. There is a very noticeable gear noise, almost like the noise these make when in reverse, more prevalent on deceleration in second gear, and can also feel a slight vibration in the shifter. May also do it in first but cannot really tell since you're going very slow at that point.
I called and left a message with Jamie yesterday but haven't yet heard back.
Any ideas/help appreciated. I hate the thought of pulling this thing out and shipping it back.
Thank you
