I have 3:54 rear gears and a 26% o.d, Steve told me that he could have saved me some money had I contacted him before I put in the 3:54's. I had 411 and he said that was ideal with a 36% o/d which he can make. I have a stock 3.78 in my coupe with a 36% B/W and wish it were the Mitchell, but it is fine. Just that the 3:78 seems a bit high for long grades, Talk to Steve before you decide. I do like the cable shifter on the stick and both O/D's are controlled that way. The B/W was prone to popping back into free wheeling so I put a couple of rubber bands around the controller on the stick. doesn't shift itself anymore.
Thanks for that.. What company does Steve work for?

Kindest regards
