Whanna make a 3.8 Cougar Fast??? May 01, 2006, 01:20:17 AM Put 4.10 gears in it! With all the hunting of the little pieces to fix my rear I said screw it and used the entire setup I had out of my ranger wich is not running at the moment. Well boys and girls, the 5 speed v6 cougar shiznits and gets now... Only problem is shifting all the time. Quote Selected

Its quicker, but only quick enough to get the ass to kick loose when hitting second hard. But it is a good T-loc trying to spin two 245/50's. Got a little bit of realestate back there to spin. I do have to shift the hell out of it, and I really can just take off in second. It just takes off normal. So when I am leasurly driving I will go 2 --> 4 --> 5 Don't need the other two. But man taking off from a stop light I can leave all the average cars in the dust that could have hung with me before. Quote Selected
