    According to Summit Racing.............
    Richmond does not make a 6 speed for Chrysler.

    They do however make a 4 + 1 Street 5 spd. for Chrylser,
    1 3/16" 18 spline.
    1st gear options: 3.27 - 4.06 - 4.41
    2nd gear: 2.13
    3rd gear: 1.57
    4th gear: 1.23
    5th gear: 1.1

    Meaning you can run an economy rear-end gear to save gas and still get performance in a lower geared rear-end.
    Richmond recommends a rear-end ratio between 2.73 - 3.36 for the 5 spd.

    The 4 + 1 Street is drilled for use with most popular 4 spd bellhousings and is the same length as most 4 spds.

    I'm running a Blown 355 / 425 hp SBC, Richmond 4 + 1 Street 5 spd,
    Hydraulic Center- Force Clutch,
    1957 Chrysler 8 3/4 Posi Sure-Grip - 3.33 rear-end with Bear Racing Axles.
