I initially had 3.89's in my car and the 1st gear was pretty much a waste. But I'm not doing 1/4 limited driving. Just keep an eye on that gearing. It may not be the best for drag racing, but it kicks butt for everything else!


Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
Whats the issue with full throttle 2nd to 3rd shift? Is this a known issue with the Tremec? What causes it to happen?
