Jack, this trip was up to a ski area in Oregon. Here in Oregon, on roads going up to ski areas we do not have "hills" going up to ski areas. So I should have said "mountain" road. It was much more than just a hill.

With the Mitchel, the way I understand it, a person can shift down into 3rd gear under and have much more power and speed that I had in second gear with my stock tranny. Anyway that is what I was pointing out.
