They weren't all that user friendly to operate either, even when they were brand new. For normal around town driving they were adequate, but vigorous or emergency situations like shifting while merging into traffic or collision avoidance would routinely result in losing a cotter pin, jamming the linkage, or missing a shift. They were the inspiration for a lot of floor shift conversions back in the 60's and 70's.
