Had to cut the trans tunnel, have a coupler machined out of bar stock to mate the output/input shafts of the engine and tranny and fab a steel adaptor plate, but I really love my manual Richmond 6 speed....

Same thing with the OD on the auto tranny, couldn't edit the poll after I realized that I didn't make OD an option.

Regarding the alleged Richmond 6-speed....
Sorry, guys...I thought that Jeff had called my bluff when he posted that reply...it's very possible,though, and based on the same principle as the Gear Vendors O/U Drive unit that's about to go in my '68 CBird...if I could pick one of those 6-speeds up on the cheap, I've already got the buds (one owns a machine shop and the other has a race car/bike fab shop...) who could make it reality...first I've got to win my Insurance battle which is still dragging on...
Feel free to flame me now, I was under the impression everyone knew I could be a jokester, hence the

5-speed here, but I'd eventually like to put a Hewland straight-cut 6 speed in (SGT H-gate), but that's part of my project to turn my car into a full race machine, and will probably never happen, especially given that its about a 9 thousand dollar tranny.

stock 5 spd here.... Just a bit of trivia that some, but not all knew. I've had 2 -SE's one 84 & one 85. The 85 had a much taller 5th gear than the 84. made a difference of about 22/23 mpg to 27mpg on highway trips...
How different is the gearing on a turboII tranny? Howabout S4 vs S5?
