Default 7AT 3.692 Gear Review

Not much to say here other than it's awesome. Have a 3.692 final drive gear and a Quaife differential and it accelerates so nicely. Car is always in the power band it seems and is much more pleasant to drive around. Fuel consumption is not really affected. I averaged 24 ish on a road trip with some pretty fast driving. In 7th gear I'm at around 3k RPM's at 80mph. Only negative is that cruise control does not work now. Actually it works intermittently.

The 3.692 final drive gear with the auto transmission is comparable to a manual with the 4.08 final drive gear. Actually I'm geared shorter, minus 5th gear. Speedo is not affected.

Here's where my gears max out (MPH at 7500 RMP)
  1. 34
  2. 52
  3. 82
  4. 118
  5. 167
  6. 194
  7. 217

If a 7AT owner wants a nice upgrade, find a manual pumpkin from a 350 or 370 and plop it in there.
