My original 901 (never been rebuilt) tranny lost second gear. So I have found a loaner 901 transmission while I have mine rebuilt. I'm going to go for shorter gears. Can somone help educate me to options around shorter gears for a 901 transmission. I'm having a shop do the work but I want to educate myself to what track drivers think works best for gears. I have a 2.4 that makes something around 160 to 170 HP and use 265/45/16 tires in the rear. I will mostly be just having fun doing track days.

What is MSX? That is what was being reccomended to me this morning. Given I'm not going to be driving the car in competitve events and just want better than stock ratios. I think economical route will be my approach.
