My brother in law had a 69 Cougar xr7 with a 351 he had owned since new I bought off him for next nothing . Car was in beautiful shape with power windows and a/c but after a week of wrenching on it I hated it .
Buddy of mine that had just wrapped his 69 Z around a tree caught me at a weak moment and I traded even up just because I swore I would never own another Ford.
I parted out the Z and bought a wrecked 69 Ss chevelle that’s came with a cherry bodied 68 parts car , soo much easier to wrench on.
Later on I bought a 81 straight 6 Bronco but thank god i never had to open the hood. After that I owned a 90 that had a 302 that when the day came to wrench on it swore I was going to put in a GM motor and trans .
Thank God I came to my senses and got rid of it before I went to hell .

I did a research quick and once I got past billy bob I was very impressed. Pretty amazing although I didn’t confirm if it works the same each time you dump the clutch. I would assume as 2nd, 3rd etc is also an issue but probably not so much once I get the rubber situation handled.
The only neg I could see is the excessive clutch plate wear but maybe not. But even then that’s the cheapest v thing to replace. Very cool. Tks for sharing.
