How short matt? I've kept my 3.9 I was going to use in the 4x4 focus project for the 3dr I'm building
Its not that short but..
I found with stock T5 in the 3dr when pushing on it felt like it wanted a 6th gear.
Most people seem to recommend the 3.9 as the one to get and especially so if your running a mahoosive turbo setup.
Personally I prefer the 3.7 a touch shorter than stock but doesn't feel like a compromise for higher speed cruising.
Just my opinion dude.
stick with the 3.9 mate. Great for lighting it up off junctions and general hooliganism...might suit you
I’ve been advised to put a 3.9 in mine. My gearbox has a taller 1st and my clutch is very hard work. Told a 3.9 would be far better
I had to go with a 3.9 as the torque levels dropped when i changed spec and gained more hp the car felt difficult low down, i've since changed to dog gears with different ratio and the car drives really well now

1 = 2.43
2 = 1.56
3 = 1.24
4 = 1.1
5 = 0.9
I’ve a twin plate 7.25 in mine not had much practice with it yet as I’m waiting for my breather pots. But it’s hard work. But told a 3.9 would change that especially in reverse
