First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Frank, I have one and really like it!
What gear ratio do you have? I have a 2.56 and it really changed the attitude of the car! Now I need to find a posi and a 2.73! The shifter does not come out in the correct location without a lot of work. Work that I have not done yet. If you take a look at David Pozzi's site that will give you an idea of what is involved with the process. Also, you will need a different crossmember. the TH400 crossmember will work but it needs to be played with to get it to work. I have been toying with the idea of using a 200r4 conversion crossmember since I think that is closer to the actual crossmember needed. I also have found a guy who will make a custom one for around 450... a little rich for my blood... The drive shaft will need to be shortened. Mine was shortened about 1.5" over all. You'll need a TH400 yoke as well. In my case I needed a 26 spline clutch disc as well. I've heard some people say that the Richmond transmissions do not shift very well... I don't know about that, mine shifts very smoothly. I rebuilt the Hurst Shifter that I bought mine with and shifts very well! I've just have to make a few minor changes to it and it will be read to go! I've got a bit more, but I've gotta run to class!

Anyone on the list running a Richmond/ Doug Nash 5 speed transmission? Pro-cons? Does the shifter come out in the right location? Do you have to mod the trans tunnel?
