Hi Stovebolters!
Some where in the vastness of the World Wide Web I encountered some information about how to determine your gear ratios by the numbers on the outside of a tranny. Now I cannot remember where I saw that. I have a stock 1970 GM 3 speed in my C/10. First gear is very low and so is second, and then it is a Loooonng ways to third. I am thinking of possibley swapping this out for a different transmission. One with a higher first and second.
Also I think I lost a synchro because I can't shift down into second until I drop to about 35 mph. So, anyway, if anyone knows about decoding the numbers I'd appreciate it.
One more thing I'd like to know is about rebuilding. I saw a kit with bearings and stuff that looked like a good idea since my tranny is pretty noisy. If I were to undertake a rebuild, can I use different gears in my case to change the ratios?
Thanks,
Bob
