Quaife Install Question

[SYNFULL]

I had the Quaife with 355 installed yesterday. I am trying to get used to the gearing. Some of the issues I am having and would like to ask about-

Car pops on decel much much more. Is this because of the higher gearing?

Car is a little harder to get into third gear. Is this form the added resistance to the shift line? I had them change the transmission fluid and hope I used the right stuff- I couldn't find mopar atf-4 so I used castrol atf-4.

Main worry- This is hard to explain but when I turn left or right I feel like something is shifting in the rear. I feel it in the back of the seat. It feel like a slight shift like something in the rear is a little loose. If I do quick right - left swerves I feel like something is shifting in the rear. It is very subtle and I am not sure if this is a trait of the quaife or something is wrong. This was a used unit that I bought form a member here. I had the shop open it up and all the gears looked ok but the didn't disassemble it.

Thanks

With the 3.55 you will have more torque multiplied and the engine/trans will "rotate" harder during on and off throttle. The shifter moves around more because of this and may be making it "seem harder" to get third gear. The Woodhouse engine and trans mounts would help a lot of this and the MGW shifter would also offer you some benefit. If you have these already then I would re evaluate the transmission fluid choice.

Thanks Mark. I do have the MGW shifter but was thinking I would do your mounts in the next week or so when I install the headers. Is there a way to order on the web or do I need to call in.

Thanks
