Very interesting - just ran the figures through a gear calculator and the 6-speed would be lovely along with the oem 4.3 final. Almost like a quaife/trd cose ratio box but with an additional low first gear for queing and traffic jams

Actually... since I've been tooling around with a 3.72 final drive in my AE71... (3.5 1st in the T50) I've come to the thoughts that the 3.8 first, and the 3.9 final drive still allow easy starts... but also allow a nice rpm drop(for economy) for 6th. Use 1st for starts, 2nd through 5th for close ratios, and 6th for mileage

send an email to Joe - [email protected] tell him Dan sent you :wink:

I'll have to wait with that untill I move to a another country again - ther is no point in getting it here already.
