Re: Project: Turbo 250

NP435 4 speed on the floor. It is a pretty heavy duty trans, and with the 3.07 rear gears the ratios come out pretty nice. I will post an excel file on monday when I get back in town of the RPM band in each gear. The T5 (even the world class T5) would not hold up to the power or pulling capabilities of this truck. And my budget was not enough to purchase a custom built tranny. If for some reason the final drive is still pushing too many RPM's I can switch out the rear gears for the set of 2.76's I have on the shelf.
