1972 Dodge Colt
Hi Hyper Pak, My trans is a Dr-4 Jerico, I did run an 833 with the 3.09 first gear that I slick shifted myself and when that wore out I sent it to Liberty to have the same thing you had done to yours. That trans let go on a third gear shift, and switched to the Jerico for newer and stronger gears and more gear ratio choices. The squeeze lever I used on my Ram Rod shifter came off an early Honda dirt bike( it was a short lever for cable brakes), I cut the ears off that went around the handle bars and ground, filed and reshaped and drilled and tapped it to fit on top of the bracket for the small T-handle pull lever. Then bent and contoured a length of 3/16" rod and threaded each end to fit the factory hardware. Then I cut the barrel end off the brake cable and drilled and tapped that to fit the lever end. Works perfect, and is a lot easier on the fingers than that little T-handle when up and down shifting it driving on the street.
