That sucks, hmm.....gears in the future when a certain challenger gets released with a 6 speed in it based on the same platform....yeah I'd say that would make it easier to get a 6speed to work, lol. Funny thing is they put it in the magazines like it was fully operational and worked perfectly.
That's why you'd need to run 3.73s or 4.10s to really make it work right. That's what the Impala SS guys do when they run the T56.
I agree except you would have to start in second gear 90% of the time unless you were launching hard at the track. 1st gear is really deep and your shifting into second as soon as you get the clutch enguaged...and that is with his stock rear( about a 3:08 I think)
I thought by deep you meant tall, but now I realize you meant short. In my experience, the T56 has a fairly tall first gear. Taller than the 1st on the 4L60. The whole range is taller, from 1st to 6th. There WERE T56s with shorter 1st gear ratios, but those are rare. The most common T56s in Vipers and Camaros all had similar gear ratios, to my knowledge. First was something like 2.66:1, which is definitely NOT for stump pulling, with the 0.5:1 6th. Which is why going to shorter diff gears pretty much makes everything normal.
