Re: 40 pick up trans, gears
Your 4 speed trans is NON synchro and had the noisy straight cut gears. Its first gear is VERY low. High gear is 1:1 ratio like any 3 speed trans. If the vehicle is a half ton pickup, the regular 3 speed trans would be a nice swap and easy to do. High gear is also 1:1 ratio.
You can also change out the rear end ring & pinion gears to a higher set (ie 3.54:1) instead of your 4.11 set. That would give you a nicer cruising speed at comfortable rpm's on your motor.
