Ky59apache 'Bolter K Joined: Aug 2019 Posts: 45 Pendleton Ky USA	sorry its been awhile. you are correct Mike B. I'm changing out the 3 speed for a 4 speed. the trans in it has a 2.85 first gear. I'm thinking a taller first gear in a 4 speed would be better? I would like to drive down the highway without overdoing it RPM wise- 2200 to 2500 RPMS. thanks
