Richmond 5 speed with overdrive
I recently purchased this transmission in a 68 540 BB camaro and have about 200 miles on it so far. I needed a strong transmission and I felt this was a good transmission for my application. This transmission comes with a Long Shifter that makes shifting a ton of fun. I currently run a 308 gear and with the .89 first gear was a perfect match for my application. At 70 mph with 25" tire I cruise at 2200 rpm's.
I owned Richmond's 5 speed Road Race tranny 1:1 5th gear, before this one. I have always been pleased with their close ratio transmissions for drag or road racing and this one seems to be another quality built transmission by Richmond.
I did have to purchase a new cross member and drive shaft(current drive shaft was to long) but had no issues installing.
Hope this helps. Greg
