[Healeys] 28% OD with 3.54 rearend

[Rick Wilkins]

Just the messenger here, but the Toyota box with .783 5th gear is 22%. (100 - 78 = 22)

I have a Toyota box Smitty kit not installed.

Last year the OD started acting up.  This was my third attempt at getting a reliable OD so I put in the Healey 5 Speed.  The proper non-turbo Supra 5 speed has a 5th gear ratio of .783, which is precisely the same as the 128% OD.  I now have the same high end gearing, but with a lot more reliability. If a car is to be driven a lot and for long tips, it is the way to go.
