I didn't know a 4.9 final even fit in the case, I thought the exospeed 4.73 was the largest.
It's a brand new product. SRR is releasing 4.7 and 4.9 final drives for the L3 transmission (88-91)akirarex said:I didn't know a 4.9 final even fit in the case, I thought the exospeed 4.73 was the largest.
I'll definitely post updates as this project progresses. I think this is probably going to be my early summer project...so I'll probably have everything all together by mid-July.Kwicko said:Keep us posted and updated. If you don't mind my asking, what are those SRR final ratios selling for?
I love my hybrid tranny that has that setup. The 4th to 5th really isn't that bad and it sure makes highway cruising pleasant. Even at 90 mph or better the engine isn't really straining.Kwicko said:If you haven't driven a hybrid transmission with the HF 5th gear yet, try one before you commit. I love it, but there IS a pretty good drop in revs on the 4-5 upshift. It's fine for me, because I tend to use fifth more as just an overdrive or highway gear, not for accelerating. If I still need to have it floored by the time I'm shifting into 5th, the cops have already radioed ahead!

Exactly my thoughts on it. I'll double-check all of my math and let you guys know how it turns out.Kwicko said:And if I could have a 4.9 final and a 4000rpm cruise at 80mph in 5th, I think I'd be all over it.
Anyone contacted him and invited him over? I won't say *everything* I know about transmissions was learned from him, but a good deal of it was!This is when we need Mista Bone.
