Now if you want to see serious pedal effort for the clutch try my 57 WM300
Military style Power Wagon!!!!    You walk around lopsided after driving it
a while!!

Good mornin'.
The heavy duty 3-spd trans was used in all Chrysler V8 standards in '61 &
'62. I've heard rumor it was the same through 64. It might also be the same
in V8 Dodges, trucks, etc.
I've a '61 Newport ragtop with the factory 3-speed setup installed. Pedal
effort it pretty stiff, but not too bad. You will NOT get it into first gear
if the car moving even slightly. Makes around-town driving pretty tough -
especially with a highway rear-end gear ratio.  Plus, the 1-2 shift prone to
become a 1-R grinder shift for the occasional driver. I haven't won any
races yet..    
Whoever ordered a lettercar new with this setup must have been a interesting
sort of fellow!

Does the 300 Club have a count of the number of 300Gs built with a manual
trans?  I've only seen one that I can recall and am curious as to how many
were built and survive.  I seem to remember the 3 speed trans was the same
as a Dodge truck, and it was not a full synchromesh unit.  Also, I've heard
they were hard to drive because of the serious pedal effort required.  Any G
3 speed stick owners out there?
