Anyone using a column shift with a manual valve body?

did it back in 1974 or so when I had no $ an like it so much that I still use it . I did have a trans that shifted so hard it would jump to the next higher gear . the 1st to 2nd shift was way to hard it would jump to neutral with to rev pattern after that . as a mater of fact still using same valve body from 30 +yrs ago works like a new one
