Not Ranked
It is a small input wide ratio. Transmission actually has been working fine. I had a couple kick out in 3rd initially but after replacing the heavy rubber boot on the shifter with a proper one from the Sunbeam Tiger guys it has only happened once and may have been due to clearance with the cutout in the tunnel while accelerating thru a corner. But once I get it apart I'll give every thing a good once over. I may go ahead and replace the input because it seems a bit undersize at the tip - not sure if wear or what. I had more thousands clearance in the pilot bushing than I though it should. But I don't think I will go to a large input because then I'll have to get into the clutch which I don't really want to do. I have too many ultra-low mileage/nearly zero wear, Vette clutches and flywheels sitting under my work bench now without starting a Ford collection.
