Sounds like you may have had a diesel valve body fitted, their shift points are totally different to gas motors as they rev slower and have a lower max rev.

Glad it worked!

Did you have done any mods to it?  Something like drilling an extra hole in the intermediate shaft or something?  And putting in a bigger bearing?

Don't recall at the moment.
