Did the  66 4-speed bridge that gap ?



I never had a problem with the early or late 4spd shifting--not as precise  
as having the shifter on the tunnel in a front engined car, but not sloppy if  
all the bushings and linkage were tight.  Certainly better than Fiats  850's I 
have driven and all front wheel drive manuals.  I prefer the '66  and later 
transmissions even though they shift with a little more effort (larger  gears 
?) than the earlier trannys.  And a friend who had a Porsche  Speedster loved 
2nd gear in my '68 Monza 4spd--from 5 mph to 45 in no  time.  Great around town.
