No he meant you'll still have the "slow" manual box ratio
But you COULD drum up the faster sector ratio, or the (whoever makes) the fast ratio pitman / idler arms and use this.
I've also thought about what is called a "torque amplifier", sometimes called a "Char-Lynn" unit.
These, if you are unaware, are a simple looking device resembles an electric motor. You install it "inline" with the column shaft, and hydraulic line goes in / comes out.
This is a complete "Char Lynn" unit off some old Farmall tractor
