In my case I thought about changing over to a 4 speed, or a 5 speed. I hate to start on another big project. My tri-power was a ton of work, and I didn't need to spend days/hours under the thing. Paying the money - sure. However, ever thing I try to hire out comes back half-a$$ed, or costs about 3 times more than it should have, and later than promised. Heck I had one guy (supposed to be a retractable specialist I found through the club magazine) asked me to come pick up my car after 10 months. It wasn't fixed, and I paid a big bill just to get my car back.
