Hmmm, that lever on the right is starting to look just as good as the one on the left:



I used to have a 2000 4x2 5-speed and I was getting some tranny noise as early as about 60k miles (just out of warranty, of course) and 1st was starting to get difficult to engage when my daughter totalled the truck for me.

I initially was just going to be partially satisified with the auto tranny in the replacement truck, but it's looking a little better every day...
