It's a 3-speed + O/D out of an '80s Ford pick-up that guys are adapting to Model "A" and V8 Ford torque tubes. The only real gain is synchros and O/D. Gear ratios are similar to stock Model "A" 3-speed ratios. This is where the T5 excels with that extra gear (4-speed + O/D) when choosing the close ratio gear set. The RTS 3 (the second picture below), after adapting to torque tube for a Model "A". The first picture is a T5 that we adapted to the torque tube in a '35 Ford. DD
