: Has anyone first hand experience with the Mitchell overdrive unit. With the pressure to go faster these days on the highways this mechanical unit seems to be the answer?
: Is it as easy as it looks to install? Does it run quietly? I am thinking about this for my coupe when I go off island I can't keep up with out pushing the ccar beyond what I feel is comfortable. Thanks for any help. Ed ROmer

I have a Mitchell overdrive in my 31' coupe, and I love it.It is completly synchronized so it slips in and out of gear easily.It doesn't pop out of gear like others do, it is also very quiet.You can't even here it when you are in overdrive.
It is very easy to install, it only took me about 6 hours to instal.When I am traveling at 55 in overdrive the motor spins at 1900 rpm.The car has no trouble doing 65 mph or even 70 mph.You would be very pleased with the Mitchell overdrive.Good luck.
Greg
