Gear is all you need Lol, that's what the clip is for! so it don't get lost in the gearbox! anyway I've done it now, I just gotta test it out on the street so yeah.

Sweet then, next time you floor it when you go onto the freeway see if it changes gear before the limiter.The speed will be correct but your shift points will be out, as you have been told. Good luck with that.

http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24060 Lol, after reading that my shift points are out slightly, the old gear had 20 teeth, my new 1 has 21 teeth.

I will try this tomorrow. I have a 3:27 ratio, what revs should the car be doing going from 1st - 2nd in an Auto Troyman? is it what you say and it's 4700? If that's the case then I'll see if it's made a difference. If not then maybe it's hitting the rev limiter before the desired speed?

im not sure what rpm its supposed to shift at in power but i would prefer it if it shifted at redline/5000 rpm..considering the rev limiter is about 5400 in a ed.
but its ok as this engine is still stock and its probably shifting at the right rpm for a stocko.. |
