Sweeet!! I shifted those in my 95 Z and 96 WS6. I used to cruise about 50 miles to the casinos when I was divorced and would make it in no time and not turn over 2K rpm. I am going to seriously consider this swap next summer.

Details and gear ratios for the 5 spd please. I need something stronger than my Richmond and am considering a G-Force also.

I dunno, I'm more fond of the ratios found in the '93 T56 Camaros... I guess some 4.10s would fix it.

Does this have to be done when converting an auto to their 5 speed ??????
I know the shifter opening will be needed.

Default FIVE speed ratios

We have 2 5 speed boxes for the Vette. The 475 and 650 HP versions.

The 475HP has a .68 O/D and the 650HP has a .82 O/D
The other gear ratios are the same.

1st gear is 3.27:1 in both
2nd 1.98
3rd 1.34
4th 1.00
