inline 4 speed

Ditto on the Super Shifter, especially if you're driving on the street and down shifting.

I always would bias the 3-4 arm adjustment slightly forward of the 1-2 across the neutral gate. Not enough to screw up the neutral adjustment, but just enough you had to jiggle the handle a little at times to get it back across to the 1-2 gate after the bushings got a little worn. Of course, any slop in the linkage was less of a problem with the steel bushings than it was with the plastic ones, but even they would wear if you didn't pay attention to maintenence, and lube them up every now and then. Missing third on a power shift was a non issue.

Personally never ever really cared for the feel of the inlines. Probably far more important to your ability to shift fast and elliminating missed shifts than the type of linkage is making sure you've got it adjusted properly. Making sure the clutch linkage is not worn, doesn't bind, and the adjustment is spot on. And finally, that nothing is worn or broken inside the transmission.
