The SR 71 Dakota uses a Richmond Gear six speed transmission. Ans yes, this
same trans is listed in the Summit catalog (along with a five speed). It is
a technically doable deal to put one in a Dak R/T but other than floor hole
cutting and all don't ask me whether there would be a problem in the SBEC
(which also regulates the auto trans). There may be no issue with the
computer at all (just an unused circuit?).
