2.66 low gear vs close ratio
absolutely nothing will help the splits.!
This is a true but you can lessen some of the ill effects by matching things accordingly, especially when it comes to torque and where it does the most good for a a given combo.
If you go on the GV site and select NP435, the first thing they say in their blurb is that adding a GV unit to an NP435 is about the best thing you can do, they were practically made for it.
If only there was a shorter shifter for it.
I had an NP445 in my old W100, that trans was night and day better than the 435 - usable first, better splits, just an all-around better driving trans.
