Mine did that for years. It never got worse. So if it ant broken do fix it. Don't pull any hole shots until she warms up.

Sorry its 9 seconds.:o Also a bad or improperly installed pilot bushing can be the cause of failing the test.

I had problems years ago. The dealer told me my syncros were bad. I told him he was full of it. A GM rep. came in and found the speedometer cable rubbing against the linkage
