Why not get a proper manual gearbox instead? 3 pedals are too confusing?



Same. Always viewed street mvb users as manual tranny wannabees.


I've ran quite a few shift kitted Trans-Go TF-2 modified 727's and was never happy with the 2-3 shift and the jankety Mopar kickdown linkage required for doing it this way. I still build quite a few for friends this way with higher upshift governors. They absolutely love them.

Personally, I can tell you that the 2-3 shift in my Cheetah mvb feels much better. In addition, I eliminated the kickdown linkage and I can start out in 2nd gear. This really helps in street race style events or where you have to use a true street radial for a class.

It's all about what you do with the car and personal taste. My car still has a clutch pedal and I considered an 833 but, for me, the 727 was much cheaper and more consistent.
