Stock is 27/17 for a 1.588 ratio, their "C" set is 26/18 for a 1.444 ratio. These trannies are notorious for their big gap from third to fourth gear, this "C" ratio set closes that gap a bit by raising the first three gear ratios (fourth is 1:1). I've heard good things about it.

Lot of long-time IH guys on XL forum rave about the Andrews C set. Almost as much as they react negatively to the factory 20 tooth 2nd gear...
