[Snowman34]

Thanks for the info about the gearing! We've been using it in every calculation as we consider transmissions.

Another question for you since this seems to be an area you're familiar with if you don't mind. Or maybe this has been answered elsewhere, but we haven't come across it yet.

We are at the manual vs automatic discussion, and the manual seems to be winning out of late in our family discussions. We are looking at the Tremec TKO 600 vs the Richmond Super Street w/OD.

Since we are looking to ideally have a bench seat [looking at the Snowden Seats], we want to take advantage of having the middle seat for the 3rd passenger when we ride in it. We also don't want to have to add in a transmission tunnel hump & modify the floor, if we don't really have to, so that we can maximize the limited space & help keep the costs to a "modest" fortune.

In everyone's experience, from what I'm mentioning, would you all have any words of wisdom one way or the other??

Thanks in advance!
Ryan
