I have a Mitchell tranny & O/D in one car and a 1985 F100 Ford 4 speed in another. Both work very well I've found with M/M setup when i start out in 1st gear I shift to O/D then 2 & 3 with the new Burzt engine that works nice. The
F100 setup is smooth but the step between 2 &3 is a bit steep however I run a stoker Model A engine and that seems to handle it. With the F100 no frame modification was required. By the way I have a spare F100 if anybody needs it.
