Hi, I have merged your thread into this one. I assume you have figured out you can buy albins gears in any ratios.
If you have a lot of HP and torque, you don't need 5 gears. Top fuellers only have 1
I have my gearbox set-up so 1-3rd is normal, and 4th is an overdrive. It's like a 5 speed with no 4th. It works fine cos I have excessive amounts of
torque. In normal driving I take off in 2nd a lot anyway. So on surburban roads I only really use 2nd and 3rd.
Check the prices on boxes from the US, make sure you have correct shipping estimates and check the import duty. A mate got cheap BRM's from the UK,
but had to pay heaps for import duty so they ended up being expensive.

Most of the info is in this thread. I used an albins 4th gear set, stock 1st-3rd. Rebuilt locally by Leons Motors. Links will be earlier in the
thread.
