    Yes, but when it's behind a non turbocharged diesel or gasser the stick gets thrown around alot between the last two gears. Really messed up split. o_O

    Yeah putting your arm through the steering wheel to help shift is okay until you hit a pothole and that steering wheel breaks your arm. LOL

    The other thing I remember about those transmissions was if you didn't get it into gear all the way sometimes they had a habit of snapping back and they would bust you in the knuckle. Ouch.....

    You can go on youtube or google it and find some pretty darn cool looking R model Macks. Some are for sale too.
