I'm very interesting in getting the SpeedDirect kit. So you have that on your `71 TA? It says Camaro on their website which I'm pretty sure works on Firebird too.

Recommendations for gear reduction starter

What's a bummer to me is that I never really minded the Firebird's clutching that much. It's all I knew. Again, now that I'm driving that C6, it's darn near intolerable. I appreciate the input - I'll...
