1st gear times axle ratio, sometimes you gotta play with both to get the right ratio. In the Mopar Chassis manual it's just called "starting ratio". Also in that book it talks about how auto-trans cars don't need as much gear because of the torque converter so general rule of thumb is 1st gear ratio times axle ratio then times 1.8 for an auto. Just thought that was interesting to mention lol.
If I kept my current 2.94 gears, even with a low 3.27 1st gear in a TKX or T-56 the starting ratio would not be ideal. It sucks now with my 904 but at least with a torque converter I don't have to worry about slipping the clutch all the time from a stop. I do run a deep trans pan and aux cooler btw this converter is some unknown cheap 2600-stall thing that runs loose all the time.
