"Wide" on the early GTOs was 2.56 and "Close" (on a very very few GTOs) was a 2.20 first gear ratio.
The gear ratios were NOT the same. "first through third are the same" WRONG!

why don't you do the math first Mr Engineer, the actual numbers are not the same but the ratio spread from each gear to the next is the same, except for 3rd to 4th
1.88/2.52=.746 1.46/1.00=.78 for the wide ratio RPM drop each gear 1.64/2.2=.745 1.28/1.64=.78 close ratio
