Being the diesel, it has a very low r&p, 5.86:1 if I remember correctly, but the stock gas 4,86:1 r&p can easily be swapped in. If you still want some facts I can check out the ratios in the Bentley manual. > Or was 1st gear a really > low "granny gear". only on the Syncro If you want a 5-speed that bad, it would be better to go with a 5-speed conversion like Toby Erkson has done to his tranny.
