Mitchell builds them in 3 different configurations (ratios).

#1 is stock gears
#2 is stock reverse and 1st, but 15% higher 2nd
#3 is 15% higher 1st, reverse, and 2nd

3rd gear is straight-through, so that ratio is not affected. Steve is also producing sleeves to install over the shift rail ends in the shift tower that limit the throw so that you don't accidentally over-engage 2nd or 3rd for the guys racing or violently shifting them, saving the forks and gears. They can be added to existing towers, making the shifts of the sync transmissions feel rock-solid. Absolutely fantastic. You can't overshoot the detents!

Video in production now showing the Mitchell transmission production machines and units being built by Steve. Also showing the new shift rail limiting sleeves and how they work. Then another video coming showing the swap of a transmission to a Mitchell sync trans.

Paul, I'm looking forward to your videos on the Mitchell Transmissions. Do the limiting sleeves interfere with "The Real Deal Oil Seal" at all?

I just recently received my Mitchell Synchro Trans (after waiting 9 months, not complaining, just an FYI to those that want to order one). Altho I have not installed the trans yet, due to tours and health issues, I am looking forward to it.

I already have a Mitchell 26% OD so I have no issues shifting (up or down). I wanted the Synchro trans mainly to close the gap between 2nd and 3rd gears. the 15% over 1st and 2nd gears and synchros are an added bonus.
