Anybody running this combination??? Manual trans/4 speed...

I'm currently running a 2.88 1st gear trans and have just taken in a 3.42 1st gear trans...Both Borg Warner Super T10's...

I'm satisfied with the 2.88, but I read a post here that a 3.42 & 3.08 go together pretty good...

I don't drag or even drive hard, and don't drive on the Freeway/Thruway long enough to make that an issue...just city driving...Lots of stops...

Any opinions??? Anyone hate their 3.42 1st gear???

I'm planning on new synchros this Fall/Winter, but only on one of them...

 

Sometimes gearing questions are well-answered by driving something similar.

Whenever I wonder whether the 2.9x first gear T5 and T56 are well-geared transmissions, I drive a 2.66 first T56 which isn't bad at all, or my friends 3.?? first S-10 T5 (which I hate because it's too wide of ratios IMO.)

If you're happy with the take-off characteristics of the 2.88 from a stop, I'd leave well enough alone; the 3.42 has the potential to feel a little more truck and less car-like.
