5spd tranny geared wierd ('84 )

[danws69@earthlink.net (Dan-the-man)]

you've got a wide tranny, I personally LOVE my FF and would only trade it for a quaife-fitted AGB
WITH the tall 5th gear. I do a LOT of interstate driving and back road driving at speeds in excess
of 85mph...a shorter tranny would have me screaming all over the place.

(and before anyone flames me about my speed, I know these roads like the back of my hand AND they're
relatively unpopulated. Deer are the only things I have to watch out for.)
