just found out the gear ratios for the cobalt
1st - 4.05
2nd - 2.02
3rd - 1.35
4th - .98
5th - .69
final drive - 3.94
as opposed to the ion RL's
1st - 3.38
2nd - 1.76
3rd - 1.18
4th - .89
5th - .7
final drive - 4.05
now i don't know how much this affects things, but it seems to me like it would be ideal to swap second, third, and fourth. can anyone enlighten me on the subject??? what exactly is final drive, is that what it is when you're in 5th?
how hard is it going to be to get this transmission from GM?
here is the srt-4 gear ratios, which seem to make it very quick...
1st - 3.647
2nd - 2.045
3rd - 1.367
4th - .947
5th - .756
final drive - 3.526
