Jason, I don't know that much about the internal workings as far as one
being better than the other. I know a lot of folks like the series III
tranny because of the close shift ratio. I like the all synchro because I
use the tranny a little (down shifting) to assist in slowing the car down
some times. That does create a problem when I jump into a non-synchro car
though! Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer, maybe someone else on
the list can do better. Happy Beaming
Russ
