2.66 low gear vs close ratio

later trans will have wide ratio synchro's less prone to cracking and easier to shift. close ratio has interlock side cover (junk) and steel shift forks (good). I have ran both and really don't have a preference between the two. They are both good pieces. I do junk the interlock side cover and cut the tits off the steel forks. I then run the standard non interlock side cover and steel forks on later close ratio trans.
