i've used an r154 and a cd009. the shift feel of an r154 is horrendous. its clunky and the throws are very long. imo it's worth the hassle of making a cd009 work. i used the collins kit with the serial 9 shifter. just like mentioned before i had to cut about 2" of the back of the shifter hole but the shifter itself comes up right where it's supposed to be.
my car is not slammed. the transmission does hang bellow the frame rails. if i were to do things all over again right now i would still pick the cd009 but i would do the serial 9 pro bell housing which would make things a lot easier to fit in the trans tunnel.
