yes although clutch is starting to get fairly loose, and the bushings in the shifter linkages are gone, all the gears are still smooth in the tranny. The motor is also a tad noisy, hopefully I can get her up to 500 even before I need to put lifters in it, I figure around the same time if im done with my other one, Ill redo the body as well89 LX (461xxx miles original motor and trans, retired)
