mihela816 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 You have 53 million miles on your car? Damn! Are you putting in manual 2, or is this happening in OD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay3800 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Your 2nd gear ratio is 1.56:1. That's pretty tall and something I've always complained about with my car as well. First gear is nice and low at 2.92, and with the 3.33 final-drive, it feels great. Maybe the reason second feels so bad to you is because of the large ratio change from first to second. But third feels okay because the ratio change is relatively small (from 1.56 to 1:1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 hmmm ok as a side thought is there a shift kit available for these trannys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 a shift kit in an electronically controlled tranny won't do much, if anything for performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
