If you drive the old 3 speed box a lot, you will get tired of coming to a stop before shifting into low. If you do it on the move you will eventually ruin the low reverse gear and probably the cluster too.
I have a TKO for my brand X 55 I am building and I will thoroughly enjoy synchronizers in all the gears as well as the OD. I am not thrashing this car like a race car so the 600 ft/lb torque rating is plenty good.
