No sound when shifting?

[Sand]

I just bought a 1987 M998. Its been a while since I've driven one. The transmission (3 speed) doesn't sound like it shifts. Is that normal?

How fast will it go? If it won’t leave 1 st ratio you won’t be going very fast at all.

They can shift smooth as silk. No clunk or whip lash between gears. If everything working nice a strong . Down shift (passing WOT) can be noticed and then a hard shift lock-up is noticed. You'll be rocking and moving out at 42.36 MPH on to sub sonic 57.2 MPH maybe more down hill.

Bet YA didn't know HumV was NASA's in the running for a launch vehicle, CAMO

Thanks for the info. I don’t have a tach so I was hoping I wasn’t about to blow the engine up.
