I've got an overdrive rear end (3:89) in my non-overdrive GT6+. With about 4,500 RPM at 70 MPH...well, I'm looking to do a change. My choices seem to be changing to an overdrive Triumph tranny (expensive and not as reliable as a non-overdrive tranny), the New Zealand Toyota 5-speed conversion (expensive, not keeping with tradition...besides, do the Toyota ratios closely match Triumphs almost perfect ones?), or going to a 3:27 ratio rear. I'm leaning towards the later, because it's the cheapest, most original way to go, but I'm wondering how much 0-60 I'm tossing away. ken shapiro baltimore 1970 GT6+ KC81872L |
