I don't have a book that goes back to the swing axles. but I did notice
something. the IRS T-1, and T-3's had the 4.125. The Karmann Ghia had a
3.875 :=} so, if a person could find a Ghia transmission, there you go.
Instant more top end, if you have the torque to pull it. BTW, the T-3
automatic has a 3.67 but not the .88 4th gear. It only has 1.0 high gear.
