Has anybody done, or knows how to install a different o.d. ratio in the Tremec? I think the 5th gear is way tall and want to drop it to .68:1 (vice the OEM .62:1).
While the motor has a lot of torque down under, it still needs down shifting if I really want to get going. Cruising at 72mph is around 1900rpm.
And I think due to the constant shifting my milage suffers too...

The '96 had the .67 fifth and I love it.

Thanks,
Dahun

it is going to be alot easier and alot LESS expensive to change your rear gear, and you'll get a greater thrill everytime you drive at any rpm. I have 4.10's and they aren't bad at all on mileage and are awesome on the street.
