This could mean you could have any number of unsuitable ratio's in the diff. Swap it out for a 3.73 and see if you like that... if it's already a 3.73 then go a 4.11 and you'll be revving a little too high on the highway but it's liveable for the extra low-down grunt.

danielknox281 New Member 17 Member For: 7y 8m 11d Posted 08/10/20 09:08 AM Author Share Posted 08/10/20 09:08 AM Isn’t the t56 the factory 6 speed manual? I assume it’s been changed anyway as the previous owner installed a big tailshaft and true track, I’ll count the crown wheel teeth before I buy anything. But yeah certainly wanting more torque down low and acceleration at any cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAmk1 or BAmkII XR6T had a 5 speed manual as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
