I can't really add to what I have previously said- that box was very, very close in the ratios and had an extremely long 1st. I would have thought that it made sense for a really close box to have a big long first then that gives to ability to close all the ratios up in the rest of the gears but then I'm a wool exporter- not a mechanical engineer...
Is there a chance you had the "normal" Gx5 56A 5spd gearbox? It has a first gear of 3.757 but still recommended for rally and sprints.Even so, Its not the close ratio 56a 5 speed.
I've seen it now on a couple of occassions the gx5 5spd gearbox being sold as a "close" ratio gearbox(as is evident on start of this thread)
While they look similar on the outside,the have very different internals.
Or do you consider the nismo F5C56A (Close ratio 56A 5speed) first gear of 2.676 as an "extremely long 1st"?
Below are the ratios of the 56A 5speeds,

Also would it be possible to get the internal pics of your gearbox before its finished?
cheers mate
