Apparantly sifting without clutching puts all the load of the excess revs on the synchromesh rather than on the clutch meaning that you stuff your synchros faster and it is sooner that you have to rebuild your gearbox. :cry: When told that I stopped playing around with shifting without a clutch :oops: :cry:

hey,
i took my car for its first drive on the road on wed's,DAMN i couldnt get gears,its tighter than all the crusty rod boxes im use to driving.i would still like a KAD short shift..
My rebuild remote box is tighter than big willies rod box with short shifter :lol:


I can beat the synchros on my remote change gearbox, they're probably pretty old but there is no way they would take a quicker gearshift than what you can do with the standard gearstick

i think they is $260..but from what doc says,from the manifold alone it started to pull 100RPM lower and kept pulling 100RPM later,worth a shot,and i suppost them manifolds would have been tested with his cam,wich it will be getting all at the same time :D
