For those questioning the ratchet shifter (who never had old Chevy's, clearly)
:
You CAN just stick it in drive and go. Or, you can put it in first, and go up sequentially, like a manu-matic. The ratchet only allows you one movement per push, i.e. it won't let you throw from 1 to 3. You have to take pressure off of it, allowing the mechanical inertia mechanism that blocks it to reset. Then, you can push it again to go up a gear. So, you just slam that [censored] without thinking.... it's fun in high HP cars.
Although, it sounds like Dean is going to bring new meaning to "Slap-shifter."
Looking good!
