Re: Give me the really big picture on manual trans options
Quote:
The divorced set up really isn't that bad. My 205 out of a Dodge was only 150 or 200$ IIRC and the 4500 with the stock BH was only 800. Full disclosure - I did put new syncs into the 4500 but it really is an awesome transmission for our trucks. A few years later when I built the new 7.4, I had a few extra $$ and got the AA BH. I really like driving the truck on long drives now. The old TH400 would have the truck taching around 3000 - 3200 keeping with traffic. It just lopes along at 2200 most of the time these days in the same situations. If I had to do it again though, Id probably shoot for the post '95 transmission as it has a little taller 1st gear (less granny) and a synchro reverse which is kinda nice if youre lazy like me. I did look at GV for a minute but realized that it would only give the OD in 2wd. The Ranger gear splitter was cool too but I figured that i had enough levers, sticks, buttons and old gizmos in the cab already and needed room for people to sit. ![]() Whatever way you go, post up pics and update us on your progress! Good luck!
