not nice.both of my cars are 5speed.
the rally car has a long 1st- 2.5 , so it will pull 45-50mph in 1st :D
a standard box has 2.16 2nd so that'll give you an idea of how long it is.

STANDARD 4/5
1st-3.7
2nd-2.16
3rd-1.37
4th-1.0
5th-0.83

SPORT
1st-2.5
2nd-1.63
3rd-1.27
4th-1.0
5th-0.91
Mmmmm, that sport gearbox would be real nice :D

My 2nd gear is too short on track and 1st gear is too short on street, lol

Was that gearbox made same time as your car was build for racing?
