Was the Huffaker a 4-speed or 5-speed, synchromesh?
I only vaguely remember the name Huffaker. Did he work with McKee as well (McKee built mid engined Can Am type cars). Also I guess they were 4-speeds, 5 speeds being more of a 1965 development. Were they synchromesh? I heard Carroll Smith say the ZF 5-speed used in the GT40 "had no business being in a race car because it was synchromesh." I thought synchromesh was a good thing but apparently he felt it was just more things in the gearbox to break.
