tjc transport Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 sounds a lot like the 05 i used to have. my would do at least 75. never had it over that though. it was good on the road, but with those gears sucked off road. was also tough on the clutch trying to take off on an uphill grade loaded from a stop.
