Bryan, list:
When I worked for Henry Rose Garage-- right after my stint as an army mechanic
in
the '60s-- we had a "shop car"-- you know, the thing that you make parts runs
in,
etc.-- that had one of these transmissions. It was a Dodge, a '51 or '52, I
think. Really pretty wierd to drive. I don't remember it as a 4-speed, so I
was
probably one of those who never figured it out. Of course, at 20 years young, I
guess I didn't have a whole lot of that "patience" thing you were talking about.
