Title: Manual transmissions with low gear
Post by: patman on January 22, 2016, 05:21:18 PM: Before I buy one somewhere else, I'm looking for a manual trans with a granny gear if anyone has one...

SM420, SM465, T18, NP435, T98, NV4500/NV4550 etc.

Let me know if y'all have anything!

Don't forget first and reverse are spur gears/non synchro....well I guess you'll remember when you try to downshift into first while moving //cheers2//

Are you going to need an adapter for the Dana 20?

Yes, 6.69. From a 78 f250 4x4. Downshifting will be a chore at times but it will be infinitely better than the t15 in there now. That plus a regearing should let me actually go up stuff now

And yes, I'll need one of the solid gold Novak Adapters to the 20 lol

Post by: patman on January 31, 2016, 08:58:01 PM: Since this is a dedicated trail rig, I really want gearing so low that first is almost unusable so that steep climbs can really be controlled without jerking or bumping the clutch

I believe that F250 I had was a
5.72-to-1 first gear. Never started off
in 1st unless I was towing something.
