I would stick with the 3 speed over the glide. I have a triple disc and a hydro throw out bearing that I would sell for $200. plus shipping. once you get the bellhousing clutch and trany thats could be sold at the end of the season for 450 to 500 to put toward a bert, used ones are going from 600 on up.the triple disc lets you run a flex plate which is much liter than a stock flywheel and a h ell of a lot safer. the liter wt helps on corner exit.
