The Mustang World class t-5 for a 5.0 has the following ratios:
3.35
1.99
1.33
1.00
.68
compared to a S-10 with a 4.03 or 3.76 1st gear, which I consider too low for the torquey 6, especially with a 4.10 rear end. The .68 Od nets me with a 2.78 final drive, compared to the 3.91 with the stock rear axle and 3 spd trans. I've read that people with the S-10 trans often slip the clutch a little and start in 2nd gear, with 1st being a "Granny" gear. In a truck, this would be OK, but IMHO, not in a car. We'll see when the car hits the road... Thanks Murf
