Re: [Amc-list] xj: 2wd AX15 tranny

I'm telling you!
A 4-1 first with a 3:31 gear is PIA after while.
I usually just use second gear on the AMC T-5 after the first few stop/starts.
It's easy to drive with the 4-1 first, but second comes real quick, sifts easy and doesn't rake.
It's just kind of too much too soon!!!
Second in the AMC t-5 is 2:35-1 IIRC and that works OK most everywhere.
The next one will be 2.95-1 first!
