This type of transmission is certainly not for everyone, which is the point of making the video. I wanted to demonstrate a few things so people have a better understanding of how it works and can make a better decision as to whether it is right for them or not.

Great video, you are a braver man than me to row like that with no oil pressure and completely cold.

All of those analog gauges are dead besides the fuel level. All of my gauge functions are fed through the Holley digital dash mounted to my steering column.

That actually seemed like it was quite liveable on the street. Aside from the noise anyway. I was expected a lot more harshness with normal gear changes/street driving. Did the video not show that well? What are your thoughts Andrew? Thanks for making the video.

Trey,

To me, it is perfectly streetable once you get the hang of it. In fact, I'm in the process of driving it from Oshkosh, WI to Bowling Green, KY for the Holley LSFesf.
