Yeah my tranny was dying. It was a '79 5 speed that had far too many miles on it. 1st gear eventually stopped working and it would feel noticeably laggier each time I'd floor it. Like the bearings were fried and they'd heat up when running full power through them. I eventually located a ribcase tranny and it's been fine since. I suspect my mileage has improved to about 10 mpg.
