You don't really have to change the gears, you just don't use first and drive it like it's a four-speed. First is the weakest (forward) gear in the 'box, as it's only supported at one end. With the torque provided by most Sixes (at least the 2.4s and up), first is unnecessary, anyway. You can spin the tires in second with a 2.4. With a 3.2, I'd bet you could start up a steep hill in third w/o slipping the clutch.
The V8 guys often put in taller gearing simply because the V8 makes so much torque at such low revs, there's little reason to spin it as high as the stock gearing will do. The 2.0 Sixes only had slightly different gearing, and I believe it was actually even shorter than the /4 gearing. That engine really likes to rev. |
