RE: GEARS
Ok, so i found out from mustangspecs site that these are my gear ratios
V6 Model GT Model
1st 3.35:1 3.37:1
2nd 1.99:1 1.99:1
3rd 1.33:1 1.33:1
4th 1.00:1 1.00:1
5th 0.68:1 0.67:1
Final Drive 3.15:1 3.22:1
So, what does that mean? when you say gear ratio of 4.1 .. do you mean the first gear has 4.1 engine rotation to 1 wheel rotation ratio? or which gear is it ?
Also, I have an automatic transmission with 4 speed gear. How does that work in that case. I know when I put it in drive the car changes gear from 1 to 3 or 4 as required. But, .. I am not sure if these gears are same as the ones I can choose my shifting the gear lever myself. Can some one clarify?
Thnaks a lot.

RE: GEARS
so if i wanna improve my 1st gear acceleration without killing my overdrive in my 96 GT auto..i should use 3.55 gears? i still have the stock ones so im looking to see which ones are good for a race or two during the weekend while keeping the car with good fuel economy for work on the week

MORE THAN LIKELY YOU HAVE A 7.5 REAR END AND I WOULD RECOMEND THAT YOU CHANGE IT OUT FOR AN 8.8 REAR. THE GEARS ARE PROUBALLY 2.73. I WOULD GO BACK WITH SOME 3.55 BECAUSE YOU WULL NOT HAVE ANY OVERDRIVE UNLESS THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE A RACE CAR.
