    It's kind of like a 2 speed rear-end except it's for a transmission. There used to be a company that made these in either a overdrive or an underdrive unit depending on whether you wanted more speed on the topend or lower for better pulling

    Maybe it's just the picture but that one looks bigger than the ones I saw years ago for a 1 ton,but I could be wrong. It's been 30 years or more since I saw one.

    Somebody never showed her hand position when shifting from 2nd to 3rd and back to second. Palm should be facing the dash, that way you don't slip into 1st or reverse by pulling toward you.

    That was a very long time ago with a 3 speed column! The things we remember!
