Here is a question that has come across my mind while driving on the highway with my Celica. I have a 1995 Celica GT Manual and when I drive over 65 my rpms seem to be high, above 3000 and when I reach 80 I am at 4000 (5th gear of course, the highest gear I have). When I drive another Celica GT that is an automatic, I am driving at 3000rpm at 80mph. I would assume that is because there is an over-drive feature in automatics, but is it possible to have that feature in a manual Celica as well either by default and I am some how missing it? Or if it isn't in there by default can I have it installed on a manual (that doesn't require a whole new transmission?)?
Otherwise what can I do to bring the rpm's down when I am at a high speed? Thanks in advance for any help given |

Going the gearbox modification route may require custom clutch,flywheel and drive shaft combinations,
Best research this, czwalga is doing something similar within his big project so search his threads. I think in the end you'll find theres more trouble than its worth -------------------- Mike W
