If you are shifting manually and run a 10 second or faster car and leaving off of a transbrake, then it is not the shifter you want. In a reverse pattern 3 speed I don't like how loose (non-positive) between neutral and 1st it is. I have to bump the transbrake just to make sure it is in first and not somewhere in between and my detent is firm. Also when footbraking anothers car I was (reverse T-400 also) resting my hand on the shifter preparing to shift, but before launching and when I launched the 11 second car the inertia barely pulled my hand shifting it into 2nd right off of the line. I like a firm ratcheting shifter that I have to crank back and not a loose feeling shifter. This is just from my experience as I'm sure it works for many others. I hate shifting a 3 speed, so I guess that's how one feels when you raced with a powerglide most of your life
