I have been looking at the 6 speed upgrade offerings for our cars to get into a direct shifter option and get away from the oem divorced shifter. Has anyone bought and installed a Tranzilla? I like the additional gear ratio options and was even thinking I could get back into the close gear spread feel of my 1971 429 Super Cobra Jet drag pack Mach 1's with a 2.29 first gear and a 4.10 in the 8.8?
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
2.97 1.78 1.30 1-1 0.80 0.63
2.97 2.07 1.43 1-1 0.80 0.63
2.97 2.07 1.43 1-1 0.74 0.50
2.66 1.78 1.30 1-1 0.80 0.63
2.66 1.78 1.30 1-1 0.74 0.50
2.29 1.60 1.21 1-1 0.82 0.67*
* closed ratio
The oem top choice 1971 429SCJ Mach 1's with the Drag Pack option was a 2.32 first gear 4 speed Top Loader and a 4.11 Detroit Locker, so the gear spread would be very similar...…..and then overdrive(s) to calm everything down on the highway!!! The best of both worlds!
