04 transmission
gears 1-4 same, 5 and 6 longer, but secondary gear reduction at back of transmission is shorter
hence u get a net shorter 1-4 gears to the rear end, but still get longer 5 and 6 for cruising
the longer 5 and 6 will not be ideal for the track
u r better off reducing your final drive or getting a J's or OEM 04 secondary gear reduction to maintain a closer gear set for the track
sorry

Hecash, How many miles are on your tranny? It should not be grinding first...I have about 6-7 04 customers including Venom's new tranny and they don't have the grind issue...Maybe fluid? I have syncromesh in my 03 and like it, but will prolly run Honda MTF with the new unit...

4% shorter ratios for 1st through 4th gears while the 5th ratio is effectively 1% shorter and 6th is effectively 2% longer, for a slightly more relaxed cruise speed. 5th gear ratio changed from 0.971 to 0.942. 6th gear ratio changed from 0.811 to 0.763.
