Well,  despite PART NUMBER documentation to the contrary, explain this
incident to  me. I had a '69 4speed that had what I felt was a long throw to
it. Second  was far back, while third seemed almost under the dash. I
installed (the  only change done) a Corsa shift lever, and suddenly the
shift distance was  shorter. Visually, I couldn't detect any measurement
difference in the  shifters. But the results sure were noticably different.
This is practical  experience, not part number research, speaking. And I
can't otherwise  explain it. Can you?






Sure, Mark - The Corsa Shift lever you installed was one of those rare,  
chrome shaft, 3-speed Corsa shifters. All 1965 three-speed shifters had  the 
quicker-ratio shifter, even those rare Corsa 3-speeds! There isn't much  of a 
difference - visually, but a big difference in Shifting performance. - Seth  Emerson
