Just fine.... I'm gonna change the oil in it.

I'm going to shorten the shift lever a bit.

Other than that it has been a blast. Run auto X in 1st and hunt for 2 x the tonne in 6th :)
 
First Gear Ratio: 3.27:1
Second Gear Ratio: 2.13:1
Third Gear Ratio: 1.57:1
Fourth Gear Ratio: 1.23:1
Fifth Gear Ratio: 1.00:1
Sixth Gear Ratio: 0.80:1

3.08:1 rear and 28" tall tires
 
Seems like a much beefier tranny. I would have thought 6th gear would be lower than that. Hows the strength compared to the T-10?

The 0.80 sixth is the only OD ratio that will support "continuous" rated torque. How much taller than 196 at 5800 (calculated) do you need ? :D :suspicious: :suspicious:

With such a broad flat torque curve 6 gears is really overkill, I was able to get two things though:

1) a streetable first gear ratio
2) an overdrive for highway

all without giving up the existing ST-10 close ratios...

Hasn't broken yet...

I like those ratios. They will work with a 3.36 rearend, and 5000-5500 rpm range.

that works so nicely with my tachometer and peg my spedometer at 160.
