Default Gearbox or Slushbox

What do you have in your Mustang? Why?

I have a five speed. The mustang was originally a road race car, and the manual helps set up the suspension. That and the fact that I prefer the extra control over what the car is doing.

Liberty Clutchless five speed Makes it easier to just stab the throttle and bang the gears..plus i don't have to worry about missing a gear

Jerico DR4 (Drag Race 4speed) ...clutch assisted via McLeod SoftLok. I pull gears with a Long Verti-gate shifter... no H-pattern to contend with and NO missed shifts!

The Jerico fills the void ($$$) between the Liberty shifted T5/Tremec and the G-Force or Liberty 5speeds...
