I just looked those up - very cool! Just very pricy, too. Anyone have any experience with them?

I had a '78 Winnebago motorhome with a 440 and 727 auto that had a Gear Vendors in it. Was really cool. You could use it to "split shift" so it made it like having a 6 speed instead of a 3 speed. 1st, 1st over, 2nd, 2nd over, 3rd, and 3rd over. Was nice when driving in the hills and having the overdrive really cut the RPM's down so a guy could cruise comfortably at modern speed limits.
