Don't know if that vacuum motor system worked well when it was new but mine was nearly impossible to shift on a subzero day in Kansas. Wish I'd have known there was a conversion to manual?

We also got this kit from Bowman Industries. When I sold the dealership in 1986, we threw away the vacuum shift assembly, nobody would pay to replace it, the kit was so much cheaper. I've often wondered whether someone was still making the kit. We sold hundreds of them.
