Sticks are a blast my 4 spd car pulls like crazy I will get in and drive it just to row the gears . Yes you can matt a 833 4 spd mopar just be dang sure the clutch will stand up to itIt is the best way for a small block. For automatics I ran manuel valve bodies and will never use them anymore. Now running a programed 727 with shifts set for 5300-5700 depending on where I set them hits hard and very fast. Car is faster in drive then manual shifting. worth every penny spent on it in 1991.Other then yearly fluid changes and filter I have done nothing to it. This is after a string of 3 trans disasters one which exploded. All fresh reman and man valve body transmissions. Race automatics for real fun 4-5-6spd
