    Try searching for "Brownie Box". My understanding is that they were originally called Browning, however, the term Brownie Box has become generic term for an auxiliary transmission.

    Should I install a gear vendors overdrive

    I never used the Gear Vendor OD for my M35A2. I have the 53" tires which gives me 30% more speed. In 5th gear, power is pretty well maxed out, but it will drive at 60-65 mph.
