The original ratios are: 2.65/1.78/1.25/1.0. With this in mind, my only
possible concerns would be the rather less useful 1st gear in the Toyota
box, along with the seemingly sizeable gap between 1st and 2nd. One thing
I always liked about my GT6+ was the rather long-legged 1st gear and the
more-or-less "close ratio" setup of the stock gearbox.
My $.02 worth. Of course, YMMV, etc.
