hey all,
my friend says that if you take the first gear out of an automatic tranny and put that gear in the five speed, then you will be able to get more power...something to deal with the size of the gear and its ratio? please correct me on this...and let me tell my friend if his reasoning is legit or not...i told him i plan to do an auto->manual swap and he says i should take the first gear out of my auto and put it in the manual...please let me know if i sound stupid or not...thanx

-jake
