I have a Richmond 5-speed (street) transmission in my EM Cobra. I've run it a lot on the street and the track. I don't like the way the transmission shifts. Speed shifts are out of the question and it took me far longer than it should have to get comfortable finding gears. It is also more difficult than it should be to skip a gear (e.g., 2nd to 4th) in street driving. I've read a lot of negative comments about Richmond transmissions and very few compliments.
