An Auto need 4.10s

....But a 5-speed is different. If i had 4.10s instead of 3.73s i would shoot myself :hammer:

If I had a daily driver I would throw a 3500 stall and some 4.30s in my stang

With 4.10's, if you'll be doing any high speed stuff, I'd conside modding your tailshaft to force lube to the output.
???
can you elaborate jr?

Yes, i can, but today I'm going to teach you some grammar.
grrr... lmao

Auto's only have a non-lubed bronze bushing on the output.

Here is a good rule-of-thum with gears:

automatic trans w/ a 3.73:1 ratio is about = a manual trans w/ a 4.10:1 ratio axle.

An automatic does not need as low a ratio as a manual to get the same effect.

This might sound crazy but auto's actually have as many as 12 ratios in each gear range.

Hence the name "gear range".

Question is: How much top end do you want?

Can your engine pull a 3.27:1 gearset to 150 mph? Or is it a bit weaker and need a 3.55:1 set?

Can you go faster in 4th than 5th?

MY 2 cents. GT

uh WTF are you talking about?

an auto 4r70w needs like 4.10s to even have the same multiplication as a t5 with stock 3.27s in first gear.


t45 has a 3.37 first gear, 1.99 second gear, 1.33 third gear compared to
4r70ws 2.84 first gear, 1.56 second gear, 1.0 third gear

the auto needs quite a bit more gear to compensate.

Thats the way i always heard it, autos would go 4.10's while manual trans go 3.73's, the auto needs more gear to compensate.

Before the converter flashes, autos have a 2:1 multiplication in the converter :thumb: that's why you can cut such an awesome 60 with an auto and a converter.
