Hot Rods How many are running a stick?

As I get older I realize I need at least one automatic when I do something stupid and wrench my back. Seeing as I don't own an O/T vehicle, 2 are automatic (soon to be one, the '41 p/u is going to a manual).

 

3 speed,with the cheap-O Indy floor shifter,no sink in first*,It's what I built my bobtailed 28A with in 1959,an still works for me. Nope no 'Granny Tranny'. All hotrods I built after were std. also ,,except the last two T-buckets I helped with ,not my rods,so not my idea.
My 28A got a new steering wheel an column some years back,but shifter still the same. Sorry about the dirt on rug,but I drive it a lot .

 

This has a Mopar x-15 manual transmission.

 

All of my old cars are manual trans except my '24 Dodge Roadster which has a 318 w/904 automatic.

14 forward gears between these three.

 

<<<<< 4 speed single quad peg leg 350.

 

That's quite harsh. I would say that automatics are for those of us that lack dexterity and coordination.

 

^^^^^

 

All my old stuff was stick or tree up till now, but my shoebox cane with an automatic in it. I've considered throwing a manual in, but I have difficulty tearing apart a car that's done. Maybe next time.

I must admit having an automatic in a slow cruising custom isn't so bad anyways. Bothers me less than I thought it would.

And as for YOU Mark, lol, we can line up ladies and so whose is finer anytime you want! Girl that!

 

This is now in my shop and under construction. Friend started it almost 40 years ago and stalled. He willed it to me when he died.

'31 "A"
401 nailhead
ST-10
original Buick bell housing & etc.

 

This one was born an automatic but with the floor shifter he now "identifies" as a stick.....

 

Saginaw 4 speed

 

Richmond Super T-10 in my roadster.

Muncie M-20 in my Nova.

 

Thanks Scotty.

 

4 speed here

 

I put a 5 speed (T5) with a short throw shifter in my 51 pickup. I'm lovin it.

 

Super T10 in mine.

 

T5 in my sedan.

 

Are their “new” school Muncie’s I’m unaware of?

 

Here's a noodle bender, would you consider a column shift at "hot rod".

 

Why not?

 

My Mommy always told me not to run with sticks.

 

Some might still think them "old lady cars". Personally I like them, all the running cars are column shift with the in construction '28 being the only floor shift (for now, at least 2 others will be floor shift in the future).

 

My 29 model a in my avatar has a 427 sbc,frankland qc and a wide ratio t 10

 

A dageham 4 speed behind the massive 200 ci engine. When something breaks, I’ll make some changes.

 

yes there are “new school” muncies! Look up https://www.autogear.net/motorsports/ they make an m22 style box in a wide ratio. That what i have in the vette. You can buy individual parts all the way to a whole new gear box.

 

Not yet...it's just that everything I own is old school...including the driver....haha...guess I'll always be stuck in the 60's.

 

I think Mark will win this one! Here is my one and only with a top loader 4 speed from a 66 mustang with a Jeep top shift conversion on it.
