m5r2 swap

What they say. I remember reading that the slightly different ratios in the ealry style M5R2 were a bit better for 94-95 cars. I have an 89 XR7's trans in my 94 SC right now. I swapped it bc my trans was grinding in 2nd, 3rd and starting to grind in 4th. All's well with the early trans.
 
Just for good measure here are the different M5R2 gear ratios:

89-93
1st Gear- 3.75
2nd Gear- 2.32
3rd Gear- 1.43

94-95
1st Gear- 3.42
2nd Gear- 2.16
3rd Gear- 1.34

So 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are slightly shorter in 89-93. I can definitely tell a difference in 1st, a little in 2nd, and not really in 3rd. 4th, 5th and reverse are the same ratios.
 
wow thanks for all the information, Im fixing to buy a 91 trans with 79k on it for ~400 shipped. Just wanted to make sure there wouldnt be any adverse affects on my baby :p .
