MMM -

My first conversion had a 10 speed manual and I'm not going to lie, I pretty much sucked shifting that thing. Over time I got pretty good up shifting, but it was always a triumph on the way down when I hit it just perfect. As far as the UltraShift goes step on the gas engages the clutch and she shifts fast and smooth. I found apply about 1/2 throttle seems to give the smoothest shifting and your up to speed very quickly.

One thing to consider in your build is some sort of padded sound deadening wall material. The upper 1/2 of all of the walls in our unit have this and it's amazing how quiet it makes the interior. On my other units they just had the standard wood wall material and it was aways echo'e (if that a word)
