Re: Give me the really big picture on manual trans options

I still say the simpler option is just go to higher axle ratios or substantially taller tires.

The 465 still has plenty of lower gear options

Or just drive about 65 or so in the right lane and let everybody go around. You could finance several months of travel on transmission swaps and overdrives.
