My first car (‘84 Monte V6) was the only auto car I’ve owned. There’s nothing better than a proper stick shift, (except maybe the gated manuals). Speaking of, has anybody here done the short throw? Wondering if anybody has figured out a way to do this without dropping the tranny. I’m somewhat mechanically inclined, but that still does sound like a fun job.

I feel there’s still some pull in 6th. But that’s me. There’s a hill with a passing lane on my (long) way home that I can easily maintain speed or even accelerate pretty well when most have a problem just pulling the hill. (YMMV)
I also was looking at the short throw and I’ve not seen a way yet to install without dropping the tranny, which is a pretty big undertaking. Just not enough room. There was someone elsewhere on Camaro6 that did and their review didn’t convince me it was worth it (yet). I believe they had it done rather than doing it themselves. Still has my interest for sometime in the future but .....
Not trying to talk you out of it, just my thoughts. I’m a bit intimidated at this moment.
