    Default stl gear ratios rule interpretation Q

    "oem gear sets that fit w/o modification...."

    so...since I'm the idiot building the 1.5 L stl car, I want trans to be as good as possible....

    does this , to you guys, mean I can grab and OEM 1-2-3-4-5 gear individually, and make my own ratios, or ,that I need to use an OEM 1-2-3-4-5 AS they came, in some oe trans....no picky-choosy


    I can make up reasons that it can be interpreted either way

    The intent is to allow you to pick and choose gears individually.

    If you think that needs a verbiage clarification, send in a letter and we'll correct it.

    Why did I think that I asked the same question and learned it was "gear set" as in, "all of the gears in the set" as in "no picky-choosey?"

    Memory is getting worse and worse I guess...

    Well, it could be my memory that is failing. But I seem to recall a committee discussion where we changed the regs a season or two, and the intent was to allow mix-and-match of gears as long as they slipped on without mods.

    Send a letter for us to discuss, just in case.

    Doesn't the GCR define "gearset"?

    if not, then mix n match should be okay.

    what combo of gears are you looking at?
