[TR] Moss 5 Speed Conversion - YIKES

I just got through installing one of Herman's 5 speeds in a TR3 last month. 
It is one of the best made after market items I have ever installed. 
Everything is well thought out and everything fits. If you have questions 
Herman is there to answer the phone. Once installed, the conversion works as 
advertised. The only change I made was to install a clutch master cylinder 
with a smaller bore so the clutch pedal would have more travel and would be 
easier to push since it is my wife's car (She had complained about the 
original Triumph clutch). At 3500 rpms the car keeps up with freeway 
traffic. I am a very satisfied customer.
