Thanks for posting, Captain Chaos. And congrats on the success.
When I swapped in the transmission with the taller final drive into my Firefly/Metro, I had the exact same initial response: the car felt so much more "relaxed" at cruise. It does require more downshifting out of top gear, of course, but I don't mind at all. It's a manual transmission, and I like using it!
I wish automakers would offer a highway "nerd gear" option for people who really want to save fuel and aren't bothered by the idea of downshifting for power when needed.
I'd like to feature your mod on the home page. Any plans to post a fuel log? Something so people could see some of your "before" & monitor the "after".
I don't suppose you have the ratios for the before/after?
