Both of these gearboxes cator for low rear end ratios, as they both have very long overdriven top gears. A lot of five speeds have a low gear that is useless for the track, but saves the clutch on street.

Most Americans like a low rear end with anywhere between 0.50 fifth or sixth gear, I would imagine the gap between fourth/fifth to top gear to wide, but its probably not that important up at those speeds. In Kiwi land downunder we tend to go for a higher rear end like a 3.08 and use a 1.1 transmission, but thats only one way to skin a cat!

How does the Richmond street five speed compare with the TKO 11?
