FS/FA: Close ratio transmission

Check fleaBay item # 4536785407 for details.

If you get this for your diesel or turbodiesel, I can do some mods for you. Such as:

- Install bolt kit on diff (for reliability)
- Install 4th and 5th gear sets from a 7A or ACN transmission
- Replace all seals

This is basically what I run in my diesel. With the tall 4th and 5th (from a 7A transmission), it's like a 6 speed with no 4th gear. Fifth is for highway cruising, 4th is for passing or steep hills on the highway and first through third are for acceleration from a stop.  The "big hole" is between 3rd and 4th.

If you'd like that, click the "Buy it now" and add $250 for the hardware, seals and labor for building it out that way. That might sound steep, but I basically have to buy another used transmission and tear them both down to swap the parts around.
