I have 3:15 gears. I have a brand new SS3200 - 2.3 stall sitting on the floor waiting to be installed. Per conversation with Mike at Yank the SS3200 is perfect for my gears. If you go with the SS3200 make sure you get the STR-2.3 to tighten the looseness. Good luck.

Once your car locks up in OD a high stall T/C is just like the stock T/C and will not effect your mileage on the highway.
You want the Yank SS3200 - Don't make the mistake of going with anything else....Yanks are the best...We have a group purchase going on the tech thread that ends tomorrow....
