NV4500 is a granny gear transmission. It is designed to take off in 2nd in normal situations. 1st is for towing/pulling REALLY heavy loads, and off road use. I NEVER use first unloaded on pavement, even on hills. And I'm runnin' 33's on 3.55's.

Mine's getting 4.88's someday hopefully not too far away, that way it will be a great tow rig on 35's, and I could go quite a bit bigger then that if it turns into a trail rig.
