Had a couple road trips now and can only say the following...




AWESOME!!!

Anyone considering this swap, is well advised to do so


1st~2nd is nice and smooth now, and less likely to get a herky-jerky as the ratio is much closer. That's not all folks, just check what's behind door #2... The loss of the 4th~5th gear gap I am now able to cruise at 55 mph with no need to choose between 2600 rpm 4th or 1600 rpm 5th With the new T-56, she now runs at 2200 rpm in 5th so have some power for those all those little hills in Marin Co. I always hated having to drive a little faster than I would like JUST to retain some semblance of HP in 5th gear.

This is a spectacular upgrade and recommend it to anyone with the means to do so
