Hello All,
Just curious as to how many listers have this trans. I am thinking about switching to a 3.25 rear instead of the 3.07, but find that I am already pushing 4150 rpm at 100 mph. Hope all is well.

I have 4 cars with the euro CR tranny...

I find the 3.07 rear about ideal for most use....3K @ 70. On the track a 3.25 might be nice but will limit your top end. Already w/3.07 top is about 140mph. With the 3.25?? 130mph?

I once had my car setup with a 3.45 rear and CR tranny.... nice for acceleration but top was only 125mph and 3K @ 60mph.
