<VV> 4 speed adjustment questions

[Frank DuVal]

Hey Seth, you need more "bench" time with earlies! gggg

The early has No outer shift tube. Neither does the FC (either style of 
shifter). The only early shift bushing is a plastic part that holds the 
front of the tube to the floor shifter assembly. So we don't have to 
rebuild that shift tube assembly, we just have "guess-a-gear" most of 
the time! ggggg  Because of this I find the earlies easier to shift in 
normal driving. Fast shifting/racing is a different matter. But Smitty 
does just fine with his modifications in Spike.
