I know the top 3 gears are shorter, i don't know the details though. I believe the previous owner geared it for track use. I took the car out on the highway for the first time. Speedo showed 70, i estimate i was moving at about 50mph. Anyway... RPM was about 3500rpm. I will be driving this car to and from events(mostly autocross for now) up to an hour or two away.
Do I keep the short gears or swap in a stock tranny i have sitting in my garage?
Also... the coupling between the shift rod and shifter base is stripped, the splines are barely visible. I think its slipping when I try to get into first, i keep adjusting it but it seems like its slipping. AFter a while I can't get into first. I changed all of the shift bushings but shifting is still really sloppy. What to do?
Thanks
