Finally I have smoke!

Just an update. TC rear is in and despite having to replace the pinion seal (after much leakage) all is well. Problem is when I get on it, I get good wheelspin until it shifts into second and the wheelspin abruptly stops like it shifted from 1st to 3rd. I haven't tried to manually shift it from a dig yet (I know when left to itself the trans shortshifts out of 2nd gear). I've always wanted a ratchet or gate shifter and I think I will do the conversion. Whether this fixes the problem or not it should make the car alot more fun to drive.
