Thanks the info folks. Will try being more patient when I fill her tomorrow and see how I go. As a result of the rebuilding of the trimatic the money set aside for the manual conversion has gone for the moment so will have to wait until I finish my other project before she becomes a manual. In the mean time the 3.08 or 2.78 diff and quady should help with economy. I have a few days off coming up so will make some measurements and see if I can do an alloy or steel tank to fit in the gap otherwise will be off to the wreckers and get 2 tanks and mod and install them. Cheers
