The rebuild on my 289 should be finished soon, and I planning on replacing my T10 with a T5 at the same time. CrustyC was kind enough to give me a used T5 and I weighing the idea of rebuilding that one or not.
I have a few questions about T5's and gearing. Most of them have a 3.35 first gear. I currently run a 3.25 rear gear, but am planning to increase to a 3.55 for the 5 speed. My tires are a little taller than stock, but not by much.
I've been under the impression that T5's 3.35 1st gear may be too tall for my rear gears, and make 1st a useless 'granny gear'. I also don't think I can replace the 3.35 with a shorter 2.95 gear without replacing the entire gear package.
Are my two ass-umptions correct? Should I search for a T5 that already has the 2.95 1st gear? Thanks.
