Guys,

I'm sure it's been discussed.  I searched on both forums for info and read a lot of responses.

I have the ability and opportunity to change my ZF fifth gear from the standard 0.704 ratio to a 0.62 ratio for about the cost of the gear set, some shipping, and a good amount of my time.  The gear set goes for about $1300 to $1500, depending upon where you get it.  I have the tool part covered.  

Dennis Q. says that half his rebuilds also include changing out fifth.  I think $1300 for a gear set is pretty steep but I wouldn't expect any less from such an expensive transaxle.

Should I do it?  It wasn't in the plan but has presented itself nonetheless.  It may involve waiting several months as my budget isn't unlimited.

Corey
