Thanks for the advice.

I've tried to do the external slave with the smallest slave I could find. Just not enough room. I even made a custom length fork, custom bracket. Slave gets too close to the header pipe. No room for a bleeder, or even space to run a hose for a remote bleeder. I've read pros & cons on the internal hydraulic unit and I'm willing to take a chance with it.

My Jag rear end is 3.31:1 and the .8 overdrive seems like my choice too.

I just have to figure out what shifter option I need to take. My shifter is 9.5" From the bell housing/trans mounting surface and in IMHO the location couldn't be more perfect & ergonomic!. 7" moves it too far forward, but I can have a shifter stick that bends backward. I have to seriously start making my measurements and see what conflicts I have. The 12.68 shifter location moves it too far back and I don't really like the curved forward look that the original had.

I love the location of my Super T-10 shifter and so I have to come to terms that a new location that may not be as visually pleasing.

Thanks for your comments,

Arthur
