CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Ordering New Transmission, but What Gears ?

Scott at Jerico talked me into 3.08 first (1.93, 1.34, 1.00) and said it could be changed to about 3.19 later if needed. His argument was that I would have no time in first with 3.19. I have found with the right clutch slippage, I am OK, but still wonder if 3.19 would be better. If I do decide to change, I will discuss gear strengths with Scott.
I also have a torque type engine that I don't want to over-rev and gear the diff for the top end, then take what I can get in terms of first gear.
