Six Speed in a 6GC Options

[Fastbird]

I've heard talk of people thinking about it but have never seen any factual attempts. These things need a sixth gear.

I was pondering, and it probably wouldn't be toooooooo terribly difficult to have a bell housing adapter made for something like a 7th gen and then have a custom input shaft in a longer length made.

Are there any other ideas floating around out there?

My reasoning is that on the highway I can't stand trying to maintain 80 MPH whilst turning 4000 RPM

4grand is where all the magic happens on the higway. your tvis plates open up and the car comes alive! if anything i think the gearing is great on the highway, because you are alwasy in your power band.


you can alwasy change over to the mr2 tranny. it has taller gearing and lsd. that would seem like a more logical upgrade. i dont think i would trust the 7th gen tranny. you might also run into a lot of dumb issues like trying to find motor mounts that would work correctly or axels, that would make it more troubble then its worth.
