Car: 1991 Corvette Coupe
Engine: L98
Transmission: 700R4/4L60 same trans different name
the gears in the v6 T5 are very short, thus it has a VERY weak torque rating (thats not stopping me though from putting one behind my 305)

the gears in the V8 T5 are much taller, so they can handle the torque of a 305, but not really a 350


all in all, its one of the worst trannys ever built

mine is only temporary until i can afford a T56

sorry, but i dont know the exact gear ratios

off the line, you would be faster with a V6 T5

BUT

if your racing IT AINT GONNA LAST

might crack the first time you beat on it, in fact i'd bet on it

THEY ARE A VERY WEAK TRANSMISSION

i am only putting one in because i need a back up car already

hope this makes sense

Try here for a pretty good list of gear ratios on the bottom of the page.

These trannys aren't too bad if they are treated right. Stay away from power shifting and all should be well.
