  1. Hi my new project. On my 1950 pilot house is to install a rack and pinion kit but have trouble finding any information on it. Where to buy for my truck, there’s-a post on eBay for one supposed to fit on that truck but the seller can’t really make dedicated instructions for me to see available. 
    i wonder if anyone has done this kind of work on their trucks and what input can they give me about it. I’ll appreciate any kind of help that any one can offer.

    It's all technique.  Match the engine speed with road speed of the gear shifting into.  Depress clutch, gear shift into neutral, release clutch use accelerator pedal to raise engine speed to the correct range.  Now quickly depress clutch and shift into the next gear.

     

    Practice, Practice, Practice.  Did I mention the need to Practice?  It takes a while for the ear to learn the engine note needed for the next gear.  Upshifting isn't too hard, downshifts are more difficult.

    Thanks ! I went for a little ride and gave it a try. I could see the difference but it is still kind of hard to do.. I guess as you said practice makes perfect.. So i will practice hopefully i will get it ... Do not  want to change the transmission..
