Michael, I wonder if you could simply just use an interrupt button on the shifter to momentarily "kill" the power while shifting. Like they did on the VW Autosticks, pushing down on the shifter released the gate lock and triggered a micro switch that activated the vacuum clutch actuator. In any event, these are not a real beefy trans to begin with, be sure to take good care of it, when I lost a synchro on mine I had to hand build the parts and it was a major effort to get the van shifting again. One of the reasons I let mine go, was just too much hassle to keep going - building parts etc. IIRC I still have a rack and pinion laying around that I bought for mine and never used. Darned if I know where it is tho, LOL. Dach.
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" - Theodore Roosevelt “We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes .... I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.” - Aldo Leopold ________________________________ From: Michael A.

I'm going to remove the clutch and then contact "clutchnet" and see what they say.
