I used to think that, and was keeping my eyes open for one.

But reading what Jim says - and seeing max speed in 1st between G50/0x and G50/50 is only a few MPH (depending on shift point, naturally) - starting to think not tall enough to be flexible/useful.

The factory used 3.154 for 1st gear in 2 N/A cars (both the Swiss 964 with the G50/04, and the 964 RS with the G50/10). So not all that tall...

Hence asking how folks got on with the 4-speed 1st - quite a bit taller at 2.6..
