Tranny Counterweight...

I did a search and couldnt find anything on this. but is the counterweight on the shift arms at the tranny needed? What are the potential Risks or gains in removing this?

I cut mine off and my tranny breaks all the time.

Its not needed. Ive read its just there for smoother shifts and whatnot. Plus if you put in a 6bolt you NEED to remove it because it hits the lower radiator hose.

Mine is gone. Shifts fine.

This is false. I have a 6 bolt and it still has the counterweight.

I think i may cut it off. then drill a hole in it and tie it to the rear bumper like those trailer hitch balls that you see on trucks. LOL
