If it's the Sports Option box that you are refering to the they are
1st - 2.85, 2nd - 2.11, 3rd - 1.58, 4th - 1.25, 5th - 1:1.
First gear is located with a dogleg down and to the left on the shift pattern and as you can see 5th gear is one to one; ie the same as a standard 4th gear in the Starion box.

They were made for the EX Lancer works rally cars. Not exactly common!

They are rather rare and not cheap, have heard of them changing hands for between $2,500 to $3,500. May know where there is one if still interested, and the dude wants to sell it.

I used to have one.
Stuart Reid got it for me from David Officer, I sold it about 4 years ago as it would ever take my V6.
I really wish I still had it for my white JA now!
