[Amc-list] T-96...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

I know it's cool, but the Twin Stick T-96 second gear ratio sucks, the 
stock ratio is much, much better suited. I'm so glad I replaced it!

The Twin Stick second gear is closer to first, to allow a big spread 
between second and third such that second-overdrive is "useful". 
(2nd-over with the standard ratio is only 5% less than 3rd-no-OD).

But the close second is a waste otherwise. Second is now far more useful 
in town; before, I was never in the right gear! It matches the power 
band of the engine.

I was always "over-revving" (so it seemed, though not really) in nd to 
get to third on anything like a mild hill. It's now effortless, not even 
a thought required.




PS: The bad clutch noise, which began after a car-wash chassis cleaning, 
went away with an hour of freeway driving.
