Location: South Australia		I would have sent more pics but the site would only let me pick one attachment.
I'm very interested in building a different manual transmission, geared higher and with a LSD.
Anyone with info other than RPW please let me know.

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		I am already on it mate.

One of my 380's is the manual with sprintex supercharger.

The manual does about 2750rpm at 100km/h...the auto does it at 1800 rpm.

am thinking of just changing 5th cog instead...might be easier....

Location: South Australia		These manuals really go well using 2nd gear for take off, 1st gear is way too low unless you need to tow a semi trailer.
I think a taller diff would be better to keep 5 useful gears

Digging up an old conversation here, but any further progress on improving the gearing in first for the manual 380?
