[HTM101]

I've read favorable comments about them, but my experience was disappointing.

I installed the components to the letter of the instructions. My transmission is a Toploader and at that time was using the typical Girling master and slave cylinders. When I drove the car and shifted below 5k rpm all was OK. When I got to 6k and higher it felt like I was forcing the shift lever through a brick wall. 7k shifts were ...*&*%

The next winter I pulled the transmission for some upgrading. I discussed my prior shifting issue with David Kee. He suggested using 400 grit sandpaper on the blocker rings for some additional friction. I did that, ditched the dual discs and installed a Ram single disc setup, and set the Girling cylinders on the shelf and replaced them with a McLeod HTOB. This set up is perfect. Night and day difference. A 7k rpm shift feels the same as 3k.

I was expecting great performance from the McLeod dual disc, but couldn't get it to work for me. Darn it.
