It's more fun (and less tension) to drive a car that goes where you point it, even with the wrong trans--once you get it into high.

bad ball joints can potentially kill you and someone else.

straight thru trans will just kill your wallet.

Default Ball joints VS Tremec

Brandi,
I have had a ball joint break on me ( lower R/H ) and it is not a fun ride. I had been tuning on the car and was making a pass, in the middle of second gear all hell broke loose. Luckily I was on a two lane road with grass field on the side and needless to say that’s where I ended up. I knew the ball joints wear old but I had no idea they were that bad. To make a long story short do your ball joint and any other front end parts that need to be replaced. Hope this helps.
Walter
