Part of the upgrades, in addition to the bolt-in sprag and different VB, was replacing the stock drum w/ a billet steel piece.

All I'd planned to due to the trans before putting it back in service was pulling the VB so I can put a restrictor in the passage that affects the 2-3 shift overlap.

Now I'm starting to wonder about switching to a LBA-type VB. Most companies don't promote forward manual VBs for performance applications, but that's what I'd like to stay with. The idea of converting my Slap-Stick to a reverse pattern seems weird since I've always had a standard shift pattern w/ an auto, but I see there's a Shift R Gate plate to do it.

Sh!t... sometimes it's better if I never ask a question in the first place.
