" Tom, I posted the gear ratios as used in late model Jeep Cherokees with
" the same engine. The AX-5 and AX-15 have different gearing than the T-5
" used in AMC cars. I'm not sure what the first gear ratio is in the AX-5
" and AX-15 off the top of my head, but they are indeed used with 4.10
" gears in 2.5L Jeep Cherokees. So Jim and I are neither wrong nor
" incorrect -- neither are you. Just talking about different
" transmissions in different vehicles. The question was on using the Jeep
" combo in a car, not running the Jeep engine with a car T-5. 

i've just been doing some spadework in this area.  1st gear ratios --

ax5	3.93:1
ax15	3.83:1
t5	4.02:1

all about the same.

also btw cams are more influential than anything on what rpm you get
best mileage at.
