RE: sequential shift transmission conversion!

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

I think that Larry has presupposed that this is a full-race dog box type of
transmission. That is, it operates without a clutch, has no synchros, and is
subject to regular rebuilds and other maintainance. In actuality, this
conversion simply eliminates the H-pattern and adds the sequential shift.
Use of the clutch is required with the otherwise stock transmission.

I think its pretty neat. Would I do it to my car, though? Well, I dunno...
