I tried face plated gears by mistake. Drove my Cobra for over six months with them. I could not shift without a "loud" cluck which Coach could hear from a hundred yards or more. It sounded like the tranny was breaking every time I shifted.
You go from 30 something teeth to "seven". You can not miss a gear, even if you forget the clutch. But for a street car "no way".

I changed to the Liberty street upgrade. That was perfect for the street. Smooth and fast.
