<div dir="ltr">When I started the last phase of my resto, I decided to install the 5 spd kit. the great price on a used kit helped so my family could drive the car. My kids are adults and my wife had never driven it because the overdrive switch was scarry and the fact that I double clutched on down shift was intimidating. I did tell her the synchro rings were fine, I just liked to double clutch.' Anyway the 5 spd is less intimidating and cheaper than my oem box and overdrive </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> _______ _______</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.
