Was the 3.58 OD ratio for those who wanted overdrive in their reverse? All
kidding aside, I can't see what difference the overdrive transmission would
have for a different ratio in reverse?

        As I understand it, the change in GT6 gearbox is for the Mk.3 (model
year
        1971 and future), when reverse changed from a 3.1 ratio to a 3.01
ratio.
        And GT6 Mk.3 transmission with O/D supposedly had 3.58 reverse
ratio.
