Mark,

I'm curious about a couple of things if you don't mind answering some questions about this build.

1. Do you get out the die grinder and turn the transmission into a crash box, or do you have another method of achieving quick consistent shifts?

2. Given the distance from the shifter to the transmission, what do you use for a shifter and linkage that does nor deflect or bend under the pressure of competition?
