cool

idea. some have said the pedal cluster from the 123 will work. i dont know. they were certainly made that way in europe.

i would not worry about the shifting at all. it couldnt be any more trouble than my dodge cummins sixer with 500 ft lb torque. it all comes on rather quickly at about 18oo rpm. you have to keep an eye peeled at the tach. but after driving it a while you can do it by ear just fine. and when towing it is a lot longer wait for the times to shift so looking at the tach is no prob.
