Tranny's - kick vs sammy

[Depot]

I heard a rumour the other day that got me wondering. I heard that a kick stick tranny and a sammy stick tranny have the exact same ratios in em and that its the t-cases that make all the difference in the world. a kick t-case is 1:1 in high hence it runs on 513's where a sammy t-case is 1.409:1 in high which allows it to use the 373's.

Anyone got the #'s to prove or disprove this? I'd like to see the #'s for sammy tranny, a stick and auto sidekick tranny for comparison. and especially the #'s for a 2wd stick kick tranny!!

If this is in fact true, then I can see the kicker debate re-igniting again :D

Anyone ever come up with the tranny ratios for a 2wd stick kick? And has anyone ever had one? I heard a rumor that they are about the same size as a sami tranny???? true/false.

The trannies are the same ratio with the exception of the earlier Sami 5th gears. Thats what makes the kicker set up such a beautiful thing.
