G'day Eric, Congratulations on your windfall, I have still to send you some data on changing the 37 top to suit the R6/ R9 set-up, however yesterday I modified and took pictures which i should talk to Mal about how to post them, on one of my previous R6 floorchange conversions so that it now locks out of overdrive when you select reverse ( stopped of course), as per the original R6/ R9 overdrive. One of my party tricks with the unmodified trans was to select any gear including reverse at any speed under 20mph, without the clutch and without any complaints from the gearbox. It used to freak a few people out but was quite harmless, now it is not harmless at all, but is less strain on the pull cable. Best regards Peter Toet
