You're definitely right about the 3 speeds being wonky on some turns! Lol. I don't mind mine, its kinda fun to drive but having a better 1st gear would be ideal
Sorry, I meant to say Saginaw, which is a car transmission. Those can be had for a reasonable price. and are a direct replacement. High performance guys prefer the Muncies and Borg Warners and their price reflects that
