this topic comes up everyday. I have 4.10s on my 5 speed and i love them. However liek 75 % of the poeple on here say 41.0 for auto and 3.73 for 5 speed.

Actually from how I'm driving the car now first gear is almost worthless unless I was pulling a housetrailer around for fun. By the time I'm in it I have to get out of it.
