Not Ranked
I plan to use the spacer between the trans and bell. It will put the shifter in a closer to original location. Doug at ERA said the piece on the back of the trans needed trimmed. I did that per the book. I suspect it does not need trimmed if you do not use the spacer.
Brent - I may call about the offset shifter. I need to get the tunnel in and see how things look. I may just offset the shift handle with plate steel, I may patch the tunnel and put the hole in the typical ERA location. I have not decided yet.
Excaliber - My car is difficult in city traffic. It needs more gear. On the open road it is OK. My last ERA had 3.54 gears with a Tremec and I was very satisfied. Doug (at ERA) ask me which gear I planned to run and suggested the 3.54, but I had already made up my mind. He said the car would be doggy with the 3.07 - and it is.
We all drive our cars differently and want different things from them. I already have a complete Jag 3rd member ready to go, the 3.07 unit will be for sale soon if you want to change yours out. It was built by ERA.
This has been a good thread.
