Manual Trans Help

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Thanks

Well......why not 6 .... hmmm.....

I guess if the motor has the "umph" why not go with a wider ratio and 4 , less shifts, less potential for error, I have yet to see a really fast and consistent 6 speed out there (dosent mean there arent , I just havent seen it)

That being said, 1-4 seems ok...and the ratios available for the T56 seem nice for that (the 1-4) cant see using .83 in a drag car ever ? (could be 110% wrong though)

Thats why Im asking....

Cheers

Chris
