I have a 31 coupe with a Mitchell OD and 3.54 gears.I know nothing about the engine,the car was off the road for over 20 years before I got it and put the OD in it.I only found it had the high gears when I pulled a trumpet off to fix a leak.I have zero drivability problems,on flat going I forget and leave it in OD a lot of times.I would like to put higher gears or an OD in a 28 phaeton I have,but it is the early one with the different ring and pinion design.
