Just wondering do you still have all the detents for the each gear if using a 3 speed column. Being you have one extra gear now. Be nice to know so it will make my search for a tilt column easier. Thanks

detents are in the transmission.  There is enough travel in the column to work with any TH350 to 700R4 swap
