G/V Aux transmission on a 98 Auto 354 Geared??

[ctdodgeram]

I tried this in the 2nd Gen Engine & transmission, but few responses.



Most everyone seems to buy these O/D auxillary trannys with 410 gears. I have the 354's in the 4x4. Gear Vendors says it will still help because I will split gears, and be able to tow in Dodge 3rd, with G/V in O/D. They do not offer the Underdrive gears, like the US Gear set-up. That is just as expensive, but more modifications necessary to install, if I understand correctly.



Towing flat, probably no issues, but what about getting up to speed, especially starting out up a hill? Will the dodge transmission hang in there? I get going, but I have to be careful to ease into it, or the transmission seems to work(slip). Maybe I'm just too use the 6-speed for all those years?

I don't know if that would be a great setup . An under drive would be best. you would probably never be able to go into overdrive because the RPM's would be to low. I woildn't waste the money.

I think before you lay down that kind of cash, I'd address that transmission if it is indeed slipping. And you said it yourself in your sig, 4. 10 gears. I think you could get 4. 10's cheaper than a GV overdrive. Just depends on how much you want to spend
