Limited Slip Diff on T56 Transmission

Try punching figures into the Superformance gearing calculator:
Second Strike Gearing Calculator

That's a great way to settle on gear ratios / rear end ratios / tyre sizes

If you have a T-56 that reverse is all the way to the right and up. What model is that. I know its not a T-56 magnum.

Thanks for pointing me to this website. I've played around with it for a bit and I think I'm leaning towards 3.91 gearing. This is the one I may be buying. Not sure if 25% lock would be fine or if I should go up to 40%.
