That woulda freaked me out... when i started mine it was making a weird noise in second.. i literally ran it for 40 seconds and yanked it back out and went through the whole thing again...
BTW.. never had a high stall til now.. does your react like normal when you put it in drive? like creep forward like normal? my engine pulls down but the car doesn't move til i get on the gas a bit then slows like it's got stuck brakes. With 4.57s i figured that thing would creep without even dropping the engine rpm..
I know my front toe isn't right but i can't imaging being off a bit making the car drag like that
