1968 Charger Gear Vendors Test
A slow take off to test the Gear Vendors under/over drive in each gear. I was operating the overdrive manually. With manual steering and a manual valve body on uneven roads it is hard to hold a camera. Not bad for steering with my knee though. :) Don't do that. Forget I said that.

I installed a Gearvendors under/overdrive on my 1975 Monte Carlo. This video demonstrates split-shifting between gears to keep the engine from excessive drop in RPM. It is a very mild acceleration from stop to 70 MPH in order move through all 6 gears in under 15 secons (my camera can only do 15 seconds of vid at a time)
