Back to this stock 5th thing.... Why would you want to do that? 5th is completely useless on a road course and even more useless on an autocross. Once you make that shift from 4th to 5th on a road course you gain no rpm unless you are going downhill;-) Do not use a stock 5th and you will be very happy. I have a transmission that I did the 3rd to 5th reverse-swap on AND replaced the 4th gear with an "S"= 1.04. So I have:
1st=A=3.09 2nd=F=1.89 3rd=K=1.43 (actually swapped 5th=1/ZD) 4th=S=1.04 (new gear) 5th=Z=.79 (actually swapped 3rd=1/N) This gives spacings of..39%, 25%, 26%, 24% It's a beautiful thing... I have a transmission opened up right now that this is done to. Anyone want to help rebuild it? chris |
