Not Ranked
I have the TKO transmission with a 2.95 first gear and the .68 fifth gear.
The first gear is lower than the 2.87 first in the later TKO600, so a 3:31
rear was selected to make first gear more usable. The first 4 gears feel like a
proper 4 speed sequentially, but the tall fifth is way out of sequence and only
useful for the highway. This is great for 80mph quiet cruising when you are
stuck on the freeway. Most of my driving is in the first three gears with fourth
gear less so...otherwise I'm way over the safe speed for West Marin roads...
and the speed limit. This combination was the choice of the builder but I do
find it quite useful to have the "freeway option."
