I may have asked this question before.

Does anyone know why Packard went to the idler/relay arms and two sets of shifting rods?

I believe everyone else was using a simpler system of just two rods connected from the steering column arms to the transmission.

The Packard system seems overly complicated to me.

Second question, if I may. Has anyone tried to use the conventional system of just two shifting rods?
