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? -------------------- |

like i already said someone needs to take the OEM gear ratio #s outta an E153 or S54 (both would be nice) and start talking to a shop that cuts gears..and discuss about making LONGER gear ratios..in theory it should be a bolt in application and all you need to do is swap out your gears in the existing bell housing (yes this has been done before)
i'm not sure if you could fit a 6th gear...but lengthening gears 2-5 is doable probably at the cost of a few hundred dollars |

It would be nice if they made the s series trans in a 6th gear. The damn gearing is so short a 3sgte swapped celica with a s trans doesnt make it real good economy wise when your crusing around on the highway at 4k rpms.. compares to when I swapped he e153 I was at 65mph in 2500-2700 rpms ![]() -------------------- BANNED!
