Having issues with my 4 speed T-18 transmission on my 72 f10

Post by vsanzbajo »

It seems like 2nd gear is too low. I can not get use to driving with this transmission. Can someone let me know how to drive it. Having issues with the lower gears and then 3rd gear seems too weak when I am going around 20 mph. How do you guys drive this T18? It seems like I am revving up too much the engine is 2nd. Is it really that low in 2nd gear?
Thanks in advance.

I always drove them as a 3 speed, starting out in 2nd gear. Save 1st gear (granny low) for pulling tree stumps out of the ground.
