Agreed, but his explanation sounded like ti was jumping one explanation and dropping on another, soooooo yes!

With his current explanation, rev limiter.

It is like a speed limiter or a governor. Once the vehicle reaches the LIMIT, then car cuts the input back so it bogs, basically.

Why only 2nd gear?

I doubt it....I can't even load a picture onto this forum. Every time I try it tells me the file is too large so I doubt a video would make it either.

You have to use a hosting site like photobucket.

Have you drained and inspected the trans. fluid? I would do that but if i had to bet it is the 2nd gear synchronizer. Trans has to come out and apart, not a easy job.

I believe it's the rev limiter. I think I was just running second gear out too long and it was kicking in. Shifting a hair sooner solves the problem.

Thanks everyone...
