Manual Transmission reccomendations for SS/L

[james schaechter]

The jerico with a long vertigate is the best bang for the buck in many cases and I think in yours too. I would think the dual 7 would be a great way to go along with a QT RM-6022W with the window on the bottom.

You could do a soft loc or many others, but I think the tuning data you would learn from the dual 7 can help you as you upgrade. It is a pretty nice clutch for the money. I have had several different types of clutches. I like the way the levers respond to the counterweight on the Advanced stuff. Keep in mind, I have never bought a new one from Rob, but he always supports his products with tech support.

I don't know what you mean about street driving, but I would guess very short cruises. I know Casey Miles used to drive his F stick z 28 on the street and it has a Jerico in it.

as far as consistancy, a 283 SSer with a stick has no choice but to be consistant. I think you will be surprised how good it can be.

Of course, the hot dog stuff would be great, but you can always upgrade later.

a powerglide will be like watching paint dry compared to the fun you will have with even a basic race stickshift set up!

Have fun! Jim
