Guys,

Bugger just did my gearbox for Bobbie and put a taller 4th gear in. You don't have to change the 3rd ratio as 4th is for the cruising. I can't say yet how cool it is as it's still laying next to the the car but I thought is was very reasonable and done quickly by the expert!

It even got a nice clean too.

the last thing you want is a 3rd gear thats even further away from 2nd than it already is.
1, 2 and 3 are your pulling gears, 4 is your highway gear
