Transmission ideas!!!
This idea cam t me the other when I was getting a quote for my dsm tranny. Almost all of the gears used to change ratios in DSms are from evoIII trannys. So i'm wondering if its possible to swap like a 2az camry 5th gear to lower rpms fro highway cruising. I can almost guarantee that this can be i just don't have the resources to pull parts numbers and gear ratios of all these cars to find something to try.

man.. its crazy you posted this bc i was just thinking about it myself! i had a dsm as well (97gsx...hence my screen name) and i had my dsm trans fully built and added a longer 2nd and 3rd gear! with the tc, i'm sure there is something that would work...its just whos got the ***** to try it out..lol. i'm more concerned with beefing it up, and making it bullet proof like my dsm tranny was. i went thru 3 tans in my eclipse, and finally shelled out the money to have one built to handle what my car was putting down (511whp) and i never again had an issue with the tras. i was at the 1/4 mile track EVERY weekend, and sometimes tues nights too since that was the test and tune night! i beat the ____e out of that car tho

I know i wish I had a toyota microfiche or something. there has to be something you can do. I mean even on my pitbike i swapped the primary gears out t have a higher top speed after I built the motor granted thats way easier.

I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before built trans are available for the tc. the stock form has been proven to hold 500+whp on the dyno and I haven't seen to many of them run down the track, but I'll tell you right now... I break a tranny with in the first month of my cat being completed.. lol. I'm all about going out to the track.

Well finally got around to doing some research. An 07 camry has a slightly taller 5th gear at .731 rather the tc's .775. Although its not a huge diffenrence I bet it would still be nice to drop some rpm's off at 65mph highway speeds.

If someone is gonna make this happen...possibly a kit or a swap, they should have an NA version and a Turbo version...the NA being just changing out the 5th gear ratio and leaving the final drive and the Turbo version changing both!

yeah to hell with saving mileage, I'd like to get some taller gears in there to realize some speed. what the hell is the point of me dropping 4 large into my car on a supercharger and go kart suspension to get 300 hp if I can only go 120 mph? with 300 hp I want to go to buttonwillow and hit 160 on the back straight! what does chris rado's cup car use?

well to answer my own question he uses a lenco setup with planetary gears. hugely troublesome and CRAZY expensive, but if you can get it to fit and work you get to choose each of your drive ratios, which is sick!!
