| the very early model 4 speeds (reverse is left and down) were of opel design and they also had different floor pans. Apparently they had a closer ratio spread and as such the gemini racing series competitors liked to use them due to the regs of the time. |

| After comparing the TX 4spd and the 5spd I installed, I prefer the taller 1st. Acceleration was a little quicker and changing 1st to 2nd wasn't such a pain in the arse... |
