Default Five speed conversion

Would like to hear from those who purchased Driven Man's conversion. Specifically the bell housing supplied and how it fits the clutch slave rod and starter..

I have a Tremec on my 67 2+2 with a Driven Man bellhousing.
The slave cylinder, clutch fork and all of the Jaguar parts fit just fine. The quality is impressive.
I use a gear reduction starter which is smaller but I think there will be no problems with an OEM Lucas starter.

Hi yorkag,
Welcome to the community.
I have purchased a Driving Man 5 speed for my 68 FHC but have not installed it yet. When I purchased mine almost two years ago, it was pretty much the only one available, and I was at a point in the restoration that engine installation was eminent. Engine still not in the car. I do want to add that I purchased the Driving man 5 speed at the suggestion of a friend that had two cars with the 5 speed installed. One in his hot rod E-type street and every day driver, and the other in his racing E-type. He drove and raced both cars regularly without issues.
Bill.
