JP,
I had my original close ratio box converted to a wide ratio box.
I am still using the original 2.88 gears. the wide ratio gearing
necessitated a new main shaft. I purchased that from a company in
California called "stick Only". I have been very pleased with the
change. My launch gearing is much better and seems to do a lot less
clutch slipping.
