Jim is on to a good point.

That tranny I beat on endlessly when I was young had a brand-new Hurst shifter with tight bushings. Once it was aligned I never missed a shift. The tranny reacted well and I think I had a false sense of security because I had a Lakewood scatter-shield and a solid floor!!

I read an earlier post that said something about the Vega GT and afterward I remembered that is what the guy I bought mine from back in 1980 said about mine. It was built up from a stock Vega GT tranny, I just hadn't thought about it in years. I remember something about the cases being different but there was more.
Anybody know, more about the Vega GT Saginaws?
3 on the tree -- do you know any more about that setup?
