3rd gear is the same between the 002 and 091, and the issue is primarily 3rd, because I'm climbing steep stuff in 3rd, not 4th...not to mention that I'm 600 miles from home and I don't have spare transmissions kicking around.

Goofy K&N ones. I went with them because I found a flaw in Amazon's pricing/accounting for certain K&N stuff last year, and snatched these up for $9 a pop. I don't think they're causing restrictions, if that's where you're going, but it wouldn't hurt to do a quick on/off test on a tall hill.

Can't hurt to try.

The third gear ratio may be the same but the final drive ratio is not, which affects the overall ratio for the lower gears. I was very happy with a 091 tranny coupled to my 1800, but the 1700 puts out even less torque so needs the lower gearing of the earlier trannys that much more. |
