i thought the richmond had a .77 5ft gear ?? a 5 speed with no over drive doesnt make sense,,,just like a 5 speed with out a steeep 1st gear makes no sense,,,

well maybe the MC leod will come thru,,but i gave up on them 2 years ago when they had every excuse in the book why it had not gone to production at that time,,,

My bad, they do have an OD trans now. What I like about the non OD version is that the first four gears are steeper which gives you excellent accelleration with a fwy rear (say 3.0). Fifth gear is straight through the mainshaft as opposed to through the countershaft. IMO that makes for a stronger trans.

Remember, essentially what you are looking for is high speed final ratio, wether it is in the trans or the rear diff, that still allows for aggressive accelleration.
