I'll post them first thing in the am. I'm heading to bed, but I'll check the manual and throw them up if no one beats me to it.

According to Clarks my current box (early US, non-LSD) has these ratios:
1st 3.600
2nd 2.1250
3rd 1.4583
4th 1.0714
5th 0.7297
Rev 3.500
FDR 3.8889

In the event that, tomorrow I swapped in an S2 box, would my acceleration be faster or slower? The ratios look to be close, but I don't really understand the terminology "shorter", "taller" etc. TIA

They are actually very close. The s2 will be a hair slower.

Yah, they are pretty close. The S and S2 ratios are the same except for overdrive. I have and S tranny in my car and I can't tell teh difference.
