In discussion with Marlin about the "dual gate shifter", if I remember correctly, none got the dual gate as in console mounted like would be in Rob's camaro, or a Hurst Olds. They were all auto sticks which had a dual shift pattern on the shifter ball, and could be manualy shifted, or left in auto. There was no "gate" like most people think of. This was an aftermarket, take it out of the box, install it, never a factory piece. The term is misleading. I know of no deuces with a console mounted Hurst dual gate shifter.
Muncie shifters were never in my opinion, fine. They belonged in the same garbage can as the smog sh t. They got tossed just about as fast as exhaust manifolds. I don't know who took the time to "engineer" the deuce 4 spd shifter setup but it works great.
