    Any chance this is a bolt in swap? The range in the 5 speed is too narrow. I want a granny low first and decent overdrive.

    I'm on actual 30" tires with 4.88 gears. First isn't low enough, can't start in second and OD could be a few hundred RPM lower too. I'm highway at 3-3500 rpm from 60-75 mph. Not terrible but it could be better. Mpg hasn't changed from stock 26" tires and 3.31, but drive ability is much better.

    Yeah, I guess that doesn't matter anyway.

    Anyone know of a wide ratio 6 speed that would bolt in?

    Thanks guys!
