It was way too fast and had very poor low speed performance. Then I put in the brass dual ratio with 380 motors (yes, they fit, just) and it's a thousand times better (IMO). I had the steel dual ratio GBs in it for a minute but I think the steel GBs are just way too loud so I put in the brass, but if I didn't have brass I'd settle for the steel dual ratio with 380s before I'd use a 3 shaft set. But that's just me.
The 4 shaft boxes will fit. It just takes some modification. I did it in my M4 90V.

Are the gears loud in your Sherman? The 4 shaft gears are super loud in my Pershing, but they're quiet in the Sherman. I think it has something to do with them being in plastic/metal hulls.
