I've heard the rebuilt boxes generally use whatever gears they have around, which would not be surprising. I put a Lares gear box in my SX/4 (for a Cherokee, but same P/N for Eagle) and it's great. To me it feels similar to before, but without the slop of the old worn box. Not as much steering wheel attention needed on the highway either.

Hi, I just got the "variable" ratio rebuilt box from Advance auto, haven't driven the car much yet, so don't know how good it is. However, it is GM badged, unlike my original 84 AMC box, which was AMC badged. So...don't know where it's from, but it bolted right up. gz
