    I looked up the gear ratios because I was curious...definitely truck gearing. M5OD-R2 Really wide spread between the ratios, and 1st gear looks like a granny gear (2.73 rear might do ok with it, it's 3.90, for reference an AOD is 2.40, t5's are higher). The r1's have better gearing, but not the right bolt pattern.

      When I say firm... I mean like a mustang. You actually have to push it down as opposed to something like an Accent that had such an easy clutch that you could lean your foot on it and the pedal would drop. You can't just rest your foot and shift gears.

        Oh, aren't rustangs equipped with cable clutches? My Colorado had an awfully stiff clutch right from the factory, I hated it.

        Like gadget said, I think those transmissions are pretty damn decent for a half ton truck. Ever drive something with a SM465?? Whew. DUMPTRUCK transmission. Yuck.
