Works like a charm! i have this too but with a column shift. no issues or grumbles at all. i love having my head 'bobble-head' when it shifts in drive!

I hear the argument someone made about slamming into reverse, but I'm using a ratchet shifter so no worries there. The shifts are fast, and firm the harder you're on it. But it doesn't jar your brain when it shifts, which is fine with me. I don't think a harder shift would be any faster but who knows. What is the advantage to higher line pressure one would get in a RMVB?

The main reason is when I go racing I like to pull the shift lever back towards me when racing and pinned back in the seat. My buddy has the forward pattern in his Duster and I raced it for him but it just seems so weird when racing and pushing the shifter forward instead of pulling it backwards which just seems so simple when racing or even driving on the street to me. I guess you could say I fell like I am doing it backwards when racing with a forward pattern valve body. Ron
