My 4000Q has a Mc-1 in it.
Since there is now ~50 HP more than a stock JT, I've been wondering if MPG
could be increased by the MC's ability to muscle a taller 5th gear. Okay under
boost it would use more fuel, I know..........
AFAIK: the tach turns about 4200 RPM at 80 MPH, my buddies scirroco did 3,100
RPM @ 80 MPH.
Is there a way to crack the case and change the 5th gear only, to get better
MPG and a higher top speed?
Or can one swap in a newer tranny with taller gearing?
