hello everyone.
88 IROC Z, 350 TPI, bla bla. anyway, when I try to manually downshift the tranny the car wont engine brake at all. I've tried all differant speeds, the try to go down a steep hill in 1st test, and the car just settles into idle and coasts until the go pedal is pushed. I've only had the car about a month. if the tranny is bad, I've got another one out of a 90 astro van.
any input is appreciated.

you will only get engine braking in manual 1st gear. if your not gettin engine braking in manual 1st gear, then your low reverse overrun clutch is shot.
