Does anyone know what the ratio is of 5th gear in the Toyota 5 speed that is
used in the healey conversions? That is, what is the overdrive ratio? I have
heard that Supra transmissions work as well as the 2 wheel drive pickup
truck
transmissions. Are they the same, or do they have different ratios?
Inquiring
minds want to know. Richard
