I turn the sound off anyway and just watch for the belly shirt...The formula described above works great and I dont have to hear those two talk.
I don’t blame you but I will say there is some info in that video.The formula described above works great and I dont have to hear those two talk.
with a manual... Yes rocking back and forth shifting two-handed similar to an auto works well. Sometimes you get lucky shifting with little effort while rolling in Neutral.
In all seriousness, I watched it as well and learned a few things about the Atlas that I did not know. Definitely worth watching - but pay attention to the AA guy, and discount everything else...

Actually you're right, he explains the two hand method in there.
The 2 speed is even shorter and allows for better driveline angles in the rear. With my setup (UCF Ultra High Clearance tummy tuck, Atlas 2 speed) my rear drive shaft length was a little over 20" which is nice. The front driveshaft did get shorter as a result, but not enough to cause me any issues. A 4 speed Atlas would be sweet though, but I'm very happy with my 5.0:1 so far.
None that I have noticed. I even have a slightly shorter front driveshaft since my Atlas output yokes are 1350. Axle sides are still 1310, but am building for the future a bit.
I have a 1330 front output and a 1310/1350 flange CV rear output. At full droop, my front DS had a slight bind.. Almost non-existent but I had to grind down some of the yoke a bit. Compared to a 241 (not sure of 231 dimensions) My rear DS was lengthened 3.5" and the front DS was shortened nearly 4"
I was a dummy and didn't take a before measurement on the front driveshaft, only the rear. My rear was almost 3" longer than before. I'll need to check the CV on the front and see if its touching anywhere.

Its ok this is your support group. We are here to help. Just think you have a couple months before you have to hammer the shit out of everything.Well, emailed Dave’s today. My 4sp isn’t expected to even start building til 5/7. I’m thinking July before I even see it.
4 speed looks like a lot of work.

Why HVAC, I he using duct tape or something?I have HVAC friend on the hook to patch where I sawzall!
47 sheet metal screws, half of them stripped, old air duct hammered flat so it almost covers the hole, duct tape after to fix the gaps. Or at least that's how all the HVAC guys I know do it.
This. We are here for you. When I ordered my 4 speed it took nearly a year.Its ok this is your support group. We are here to help. Just think you have a couple months before you have to hammer the shit out of everything.
(I guess that‘s why I don’t get invited to a lot of support groups...)

now that you mention it, that does sound like a familiar solution.
