Oh yeah that setup was old school for sure. But that car would jump up out of the corners like crazy! As far as loading it on the trailer, that's what the winch on the trailer was for.  😀 😀 😀

TCI makes a bunch of stuff, but I still think the lowest cost has got to be the three speed manual  ;D

We went thought that Glide every winter and freshened up what needed it. It lasted 3 seasons if memory serves me correctly. Keeping good clean fluid in it can be a little pricey. Cool is key.

I gotta say the stick shift is best for me. No heat issues, better engine braking, less reciprocating weight, and the list goes on. 'Glides are fun, but costly to get in there to do what you want em to. When I losty brakes at lap 4, I was glad I had an engine that could handle the geardown (slipping the clutch a little) to compensate for the lost stopping power.
