“Ditto” Dan. I received my copy about a week ago. That 3 speed transmission hindered the Ramchargers early efforts from The High & Mighty, through the 1961 Dodge efforts and even into the early 1962 Max Wedge program, until they started to use the Torque Flyte trans. It seems that every time they lost, they just couldn’t make the 2-3 shift work on the old 3 speed stick. Don’t forget they were racing against the GM big guns at the time, Haden Proffit and Don Nicholson who had 4 speeds in their cars and full factory backing. Regards bill From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Dan Plotkin Following our conversation about the 3 speed stick in the 300 G (A745 released in 61) all the evidence needed is in the first chapter of the above captioned book that all of you should own and read. You will not be able to put the book down, by the way. It is excellent, with big never before seen photos. There is conversation about our beloved 300’s too, but not all that flattering. In the book you will read about the trouble caused by that 3 speed stick in the Ram Chargers second car, the white 61 Dodge, echo’s what I remember John Grady telling us. Anyway, get the book. (See cover attached). You can order directly from ASE. Danny Plotkin
