In the FF tranny that I have now, I have:
3.89 Ring and Pinion
3.45 1st
1.94 2nd
1.29 3rd
0.91 4th 
0.71 5th

This tranny also had all but NO kind of limited slip at all. I want the code
so I can find out if I can put in a Velocity diff kit or not. I need the
extra traction at the track. im tired of spinning my wheels in the corners.
Is it a 2K or 4K tranny?? Also, who built it?

Shawn
