[Tigers] Tiger Clutch

[Steve Laifman]

Al,

The problem is not the rear end 2.88 ratio. It's the too low first gear.
I swapped out my "close ratio" (NOT), for the Mk II style "wide ratio".  
It has a taller (more mph/rpm) 1, 2, 3 gears and is NOT "wide spaced".  
Runs fine, and good lower gears.

To see the difference, use Bob Hokanson's Excel calculator to examine 
speeds, rpm, etc., based on gearbox ratios, tire sizes, and rear end 
ratio's. A FREE copy of Microsoft's Excel is download able in the 
article link.

An excellent tool.
