I cranked mine up for the first time this spring today. I have it up on jacks so i don't flat spot the tires. I was out of the car giving it gas with the carb linkage. After about 4-5 minutes and a couple of half throttle revs i noticed that it was in first gear. No vibration and hardly any noise. Is mine set up wrong? I hear a lot about the axle joints beating themselves out but mine don't seam to be that way. I would not recomend getting under it while in gear especially at wheel speeds of 50-60 mph. Too much rotating energy and chances to get wrapped up in your project. I would go with the dye and all the safety of a lift with out the car running.
