Opinions on full manual valve body

I'm a "stick" man from way way back, 'specially in the winter, when you can "lug" a stick around in 2nd gear for better control. But I reluctantly decided to "go TF" because of my Arthritis, I simply cannot row a 4 speed or pedal a big heavy clutch anymore.

So for now, I have a (bought used) Turbo Action Cheetah, which DOES NOT HAVE low band apply. When I get time, I'm going to try a "do it yourself" manual kit in another body.

This one isn't quite right, but THIS IS THE DEAL for me. I LOVE being able to control shifts WHEN I want. With 3.89's (Ford) in the rear, I can "idle around" in traffic in 2nd gear. Hell, it'll even go from a stop in 3rd.

I'll never go back
