I drove mine from Phoenix to San Diego when I picked it up. Hadn't driven a stick in probably 30 years and it did great.

I never use first (unless I'm just messing around) but feel like it is a great all around tranny!

I have an sm465 I’d love to trade you for that 27 spline np205. It will include the adapter and everything to bolt right up to the 10 spline you have. Let me know.

I will keep that in mind. I'm going to figure all of the gear ratios again before I rule out the 700r4. I have found several NP205s around here through FB marketplace.
