Wouldn't you think that must be wrong? Unless I've got it all mixed
up, the 3.67:1 diff will require more torque for the same number of
wheel revolutions than 3.91:1, right? >>
Doesn't the T-4 automatic use a different stall speed converter too ( 2
choices)? I know I've read about some guys that are looking for a particular
converter for their cars, in order to get a better launch, and more useable torque
down low in the rpm's. If so, then the final drive ratio wouldn't really hurt
you too bad if you had the right converter.
