Its a Dynamic C4 with a 2.90 gearset. Convertor is a Dynamic Race 8 with mech diode.

Rich, driveshafts can bind if the u-joints 'break' out of phase..... -Al

But that bind would exist regardless of rotation direction, right?

I would think so, Rich. May be worth it to change the pinion angle at the front (both ways) and see if the binding gets better/worse.

When I had the drive shaft loose from the pinion and holding it aligned with the front the resistance was felt rotating only in one direction and was constant...about half as much the other direction. Not near as free as the Camaro/metric trans for sure. I'll admit I may be ghost hunting here hehe.

Call Dynamic. Band adjustment, maybe?
