Re: Help with transmission selection
Jerry,
There is only 3.75 mph difference, between a 3.4 and 2.95 gear ratio at 3800 rpm (28.38/24.63), with 28" diameter tires.
But, you have to be very careful, selecting your T5 or, you will wind up with a 3.35, first gear. There is almost no difference for second gear but, the top 3 gears, are a little tighter in the M50-D.
I'm NOT knocking the T-5, I have one but, with it's popularity, the prices have sky rocketed ($500 -1000). You an still find them for ~$300 and less, if the guy isn't up on the prices.
Competition would keep the prices of both trans down.
If only we could get a adapter.
