whats so good about rmvb?
its manual shifting & instead of shifting forward which is a bitch while going fast you are shifting it towards (backwards) you while accelerating ,it is just more of a natural feel to it that way & i like it alot more than shifting forward while going fast.its just easier to pull back to shift than to push forward to shift & the missing neutral is a big benefit in the heat of the moment..........

Tell you what, I'll post some pics and a little demo for you tomorrow. We are installing a B&M Pro Ratchet in a car and it is on the bench right now. That should help to take some of the mystery out of it for you.
I'll try to do that tomorrow, if not then def. Monday.

RMVB's were originally designed before the ratchet shifter to prevent hitting reverse with a column shifter. It's pretty much impossible to hit reverse with todays shifters.
And yes back in 1989 I used to street race my friends FMVB with column shifter in his 79 four door malibu classic family sedan looking POS with a tunnel ram, two 390 holleys, and a mopar 8 3/4 rear. I hit neutral a few times, it was a pain in the ***.
