Yep that's honestly been my only complaint with it.

Wouldn't think it would be that hard to design another one with a little more reduction to fill that void, there really isn't much to the unit. It's been .78 for as long as I can remember.

What I don't like now is that Tremec is starting to follow that trend as the new TKX has jumped up to a .68 now instead of the .64 they had for decades. They would have been better served changing that horrible 2-3 gear spread and left OD alone.
