Whats the difference in the 2.95 vs. 3.35 gear sets in the T-5?

which one is better and what are the pros and cons of each
and how would one or the other behave with either 3.73 or 4.10 read-end?

Thanks!

 

no one?

 

Larger first gear ratio. The 3.35 is going to accelerate quicker than a 2.95.

 

Just a guess- albeit an educated one, 3.35 would accelerate faster than 2.95 but have a lower top-speed (in first). and would probably be more reasonable with a 3.73 or even 3.55 differential gearing.

How do you find out what tranny gears you have?

 

I looked it up on a speed chart calculator thing

basically your going to get right around 6mph more in first gear versus the stock 3.35 @6000rpms
I would say it would be better if you were racing it all the time, that way you would have a little more first gear, and your be shifting into a little higher rpm into second.

just driving around town now with the 3.35 sometimes bogs on me a little if im not paying attention, then again I have a nice grippy clutch

 

stock is 2.95 im pretty sure.

 

stock is 3.35
1993 cobra came with the 2.95 stock...and it might have continued with the other cobras, im not sure.

 

for the dragstrip the 3.35 first is better for launches
i rally would rather have the 2.95. i have 3.73s and currently i have to shift to 2nd about 5 ft into the intersection. the 2.95 (combined w/ my 3.73s) would get me a little farther and as an added benefit, would likely help launches on street tires
