It's no picnic with the "multi-speed" auto either. That top gear ratio in the tranny means I'm not even getting 2000 rpm at 60 mph which in return means downshift city when I hit a grade. I wish they would offer 3.73's as a decent compromise.

That's why I'm getting 3.73 for my 97. Call Randy's Ring and Pinion if you want 3.73 for yours.

If you think 3.55 gears suck with stop & go traffic go ahead and put 3.73 in and you'll shift more. In town to decrease your shifts goto 3.23
gears.Less shifts longer gears(higher speeds)
and overall higher top end BUT you will lose acceleration and gain top end and better gas mileage. YOUR choice
