9591 is an unknown quantity at this point
Not only that, but even if you *could* swap the gears, it wouldn't give you more power. It *might* be a useful swap (I'm pretending here that it's possible) if you have truckloads of power emanating from your engine, and it's producing traction problems. The auto tranny has a longer 1st gear ratio than the manual, which is why I've considered replacing my A/T equipped car's differential ring/pinion in order to get shorter gear ratios. And I'm turbocharged, making over 200hp. Do you really want longer gears in your tranny?

Your friend's an idjut for passing misinformation like that. you're merely inquisitive for asking about it.
