Default Doug Nash 5 Speed

Better late than never. I had a Doug Nash with a 3.27 1st gear. Using 3.08 gears is an equivalent of 4.56, then 5th gear is 1.1. So great for acceleration and cruising in 5th. However, as some of you guys mentioned, this trans cannot shift as in drag racing. I tried and it hangs up in neutral for a fraction of a second, long enough to overrev and thow something. I ran into Richmond Gear people at the SEMA Show is Las Vegas and brought this up. They admit that this trans cannot power shift and if you want to drag race, use their drag race version. It has straight cut gears and no synchros, thus not to great for street driving. But for road racing, the Doug Nash might work out.
