Hey Jim - sorry I didn't get back sooner. We just got back from DisneyWorld! What a blast!

I haven't pulled the trigger on the 6-speed rebuild yet. My money lately has been invested in the Disney Corporation.

I do need to change my final drive gearing. Right now with a 4-speed and the 3.31 gears, I'm at a pretty high rpm keeping up with all you guys with 5-speeds. I found a 6-speed that needs rebuilding, and it's sitting in my garage. Should I rebuild or go new?

Unfortunately, to get this done professionally with all new parts may be just as expensive as buying a NEW Richmond 6-speed. Maybe the best thing to do would be to see if I can sell the trans I have right now and put the money towards a new one.

For the rearend I'm considering 3.73's for the 6-speed swap.

Jim
