transmission options

[zooki]

They're for cars that have, you know, like, torque.

I ment that link for the website more than that specific transmission.

It depends on the what magnum you're looking at. 6th for the 11009 is .63. As is, my first and second are unusable when running e85 @20 psi.

I was also looking into swapping in the 6 speed from the Z's. They are cheap, durable, and still in production. The gearing however killed that pretty quick. I would need a sub 3.5FD to make that work so a swap would have to include the trans, DS, FD, Axles, and clutch.

If anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears.

Yeah I tried the cd009 Nissan trans. It won't fit without cutting the trans tunnel. That trans gets wider near the tailshaft and our tunnel narrows in the same spot. Also the starter location would be interesting to sort out

Wrx trans with the rwd spool in it?

Very true.

With patience and creativity I'm sure there are other options out there.

Then you don't know enough about them


The MKIV Supra is relatively rare, and then the turbo version is a bit more rare...and then the manual transmission is even a bit more rare than that. Not to mention it's not a transmission they're ripping out to stuff something else in because it's too weak (I've seen first hand over 1500HP through one of them).


R154 out of a MKIII Supra Turbo would fit as well with the V160 adapter (as I mentioned in that thread). That transmission has tons of upgrade parts available (and can handle a hell of a lot if in good shape, even stock), but it's only a 5-speed..

Double overdrive transmission isn't conductive to a high reving sports car...

Those aren't Getrag, but a W58 from Aisin. Nice shifting trans, but ultimately weak (compared to the V160 and R154)

They're a licensed Getrag made in China. It's a real shame as Getrags are usually bulletproof.

Yeah, double overdrive is a bitch... 6th isn't a power gear at all on those trannies, in fact I remember them grenading in the 3rd gen F-bodies when used as such...




EDIT: After doing a bit of digging, how about the Aisin AY transmission used in the IS250 (and numerous other cars)?


1: 4.17
2: 2.19
3: 1.49
4: 1.19
5: 1.00
6: 0.84
R: 3.67


Looks like first gear is too steep though compared to the twins. I also find it weird people are having issues with the transmission in the twins as it's basically the same as the S2000, RX-8, and Miata. Someone out there has to make upgrade parts for it. Marlin Crawler would be a good place to start in that regard as they've been dealing with Toyota/Aisin transmissions for 2 decades now...


Also of note: Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky/Hummer H3/GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado 5-speed is an upgraded R154 (MKIII Supra Turbo tranny). Honestly as the stock 6 speed is a single overdrive, if you're boosted and have a nice fat torque curve, a 5 speed would work just fine.

Hell, there's a Quaife sequential 6-speed for the S2000 that might bolt in. Main issue is cost as the V160 is a bargain compared to the Quaife

Once @FullBlown finalises their v160 swap kit I'm going to attempt the r154 swap. You'll need to extend the shifter though because the twins bell housing to shifter distance is quite long.

bump?

[Reaper]

Might as well go tremec magnum or the Nissan transmission if it requires cutting up the tunnel. That sucks to hear dipstick. I'll have a faced tremec before the end of the spring.

Any new info on transmissions being swapped in? 30k miles and our 4th gear already has grinding at 31k miles.

Headers, cai, catback only. Haven't even tuned it yet, though I have the OFT to tune the car. Waiting to tune it so they don't try to weasel their way out of fixing the trans.
