I have 3.31 gears in my elky & wish they were just a little bit lower (?) I think 3.55 would be perfect. My cruise RPM (1800rpm) seems a bit too low in the power band. As for the posi, one brand of the 2 ( and I don't remember which) is rebuildable & the other is not. I have the non-rebuildable installed for 10 years and it hasn't been an issue. As it is I wish for peace of mind that I'd gone with the rebuildable. My nickels worth.
