My concern, more than the price is the ratios.

5 gear is 1:1. (as 4 gear w/o  overdrive on the BN2)
6 gear is :0.47 ( a very high drop on engine revs and may not very suitable
for normal road use)
I just hoped that the ratios were
4 gear 1:1
5 gear 1:0.75 more or less
6 gear 1:0.6 more or less

The toyota is
4 gear 1:1
5 gear 1:0.78

But jumping from 1:1 to 1:0:47 in 1 gear is too much...


And i got some pictures and YES the gear shifter is in the side a the original
car. This is great, but the ratios are terrible

Has anyone seen one installed in a BN1 - 2 - 4 with side shift ?

Thanks

Jose
