What do you mean by short 5th gear?

Well - before I came across the transmission someone opened it up and swapped out the 5th gear I think.

I noticed that the RPMs at 80mph in 5th were higher than a stock 944 turbo transmission.

I think this helps on a track where the long straight isn't high enough to hit top speed. A shorter fifth gives more torque instead.

Josh,

5R came stock with the short 5th gear [35:29 (0.829)], along with all Turbo gear boxes. Some people actually take the short gear out and put the longer 5th from the NA gear boxes for higher top speed.

Nice gearbox! Good luck with the sale!
