A couple weeks back someone was looking for the info on the problem

with 2nd to 3rd gear shifts for 70 series with manual transmissions.

I found the info (cleaning out a directory on my PC) but could not

find the original post. Here is the info (hope the person looking

for this finds it). Originally posted by James Rothe. I oculd not

find the post in the archive to provide a URL so here is the actual

text I had saved:

There's a service bulletin for the '98 models regarding a similar issue. I was not able to find anything about the same problem affecting the 99 models. (I have a subscription to alldata.com for a 98 model, they don't list the 99's yet. NHTSA.gov, on the other hand does list the 99 bulletins, but doesn't show any such issue.)

I'll paste the details exactly as they're written in the SB:
