Ok so yea, this should have probably been a private message, but this is a two part question. First and formost I need to know how to identify which ZX transmission I have. See back in February our resident ZX bro, DTP, sold me a transmission and shipped it all the way from Oregon to Georgia. I had every intention of installing this transmission at the time, but the truck ran and I had no other ride. Plus the whole flywheel, clutch, clutch fork compatability thing kinda confused me. Well now I am building my LZ and I would like to overhaul the tranny and prep it for install, but I forgot which tranny I bought... I'm almost certain it was from a '79, maybe. I do remember DTP saying I would have a long first gear.
I figure my noobishness might actually help someone else because I remember someone mentioning that you can identify your trans by marking your output shaft and turning your input shaft so many times. Then check your output. Who ever had this information please point me in the right direction.
Second question is can someone point me to a dummy proof version of gear ratio explanations? Once I figure out which trans I have I want to figure out which rear end I need to have decent highway drivability. Not asking to be completely spoon fed, but please show me the way to the kitchen. Thanks and hope you guys have a great holiday season.
