Have one in my Roadster. I was trying to get more wiggle room by removing the extra lever and using the cable shift. No issues with that and now I can get across the car to exit on the curb side if I like. I'm running a 26% OD with 3:54 rear end and 600 X 16 tires. I love the combo so much I have ordered the syncro tranny so my bride can get us home if the need arrises. You'll never be sorry if you intend to drive your car. 6 forward and 2 reverse. I have used only 5 of the forwards but if I ever climb Pikes Peak, I understand the first over is a useful gear. Good to have all these choices and keep the rpm down some. A 56 Ford F100 steering box and a short pitman arm has really made my car a pleasure to drive. (Not so much in the rain.)
