Correct. This discussion is purely related to 4EAT SVXs with either 4.11 or 4.44 gearing. This discussion arose as the gear ratios are different in the two transmissions:
4.11: 1st 2.785, 2nd 1.545, 3rd 1.000, 4th 0.694
4.44: 1st 3.027, 2nd 1.619, 3rd 1.000, 4th 0.694
Basically, 4.44's have lower gearing
and lower gear ratios for the first two gears.

P.S. As I've said earlier in this thread, from having owned both a 4.11 and now a 4.44 4EAT, I'd say the 4.44 4EAT is probably 0.2 seconds quicker than a 4.11 in the 1/4. I really notice no difference in acceleration when in 3rd gear in either trans (4.44 shifts into third at 67mph, 4.11 shifts into 3rd at 76mph).
