Re: Love our new mitchell overdrive
I like you was not a fan of the second shifter lever. Had the o/d for several years and decided to have it checked out so took it back and Steve opened it up and replaced a balk ring or two. He also sold me a very well thought out shiift cable that mounts onto my transmission shifter like on the 18 wheelers I have driven in the past. I have 3:54 rear gears and a 26% o.d, Steve told me that he could have saved me some money had I contacted him before I put in the 3:54's. I had 411 and he said that was ideal with a 36% o/d which he can make. I have a stock 3.78 in my coupe with a 36% B/W and wish it were the Mitchell, but it is fine. Just that the 3:78 seems a bit high for long grades, Talk to Steve before you decide. I do like the cable shifter on the stick and both O/D's are controlled that way. The B/W was prone to popping back into free wheeling so I put a couple of rubber bands around the controller on the stick. doesn't shift itself anymore.
