Yes it came with shims and seals. But the seals will not fit. I ordered new seals.

Do our car's speedometer have to be recalibrated after the FD install? Has anyone confirmed it with a GPS? Thanks!

The MFactory gears aren't made as well as OEM but they're solid. My set didn't lay down a perfect paint mark but were shimmed properly, set at 0.008" tolerance, and make no noise as a result. Quote:
I daily the 4.67, find it on the mild side, and am glad I went 4.67 over 4.56. My last car had shorter gears and spoiled me. I'd go even shorter if I could find a taller 6th gear to drop RPMs on the highway. Quote:
60 MPH: 2950 RPM 70 MPH: 3500 RPM 75 MPH: 3750 RPM 80 MPH: 4000 RPM Quote:
Changes to your tire's rolling diameter is the only way to change it and it's underrated anyway. 60 MPH indicated is actually around 58-59. Slightly taller tires would make it more accurate. Last edited by 37; 08-26-2013 at 12:45 PM. |

This makes me happy. I'm going to start looking into the Supra's 4.88 mentioned in the other final drive thread going on right now.

Keep in mind that a 4.88 would be about 4.5% over the 4.67. Take the speed/RPM numbers I posted above and multiply by 1.045 to find your approximate highway cruising RPMs. Without a taller 6th gear, 4.88 might be a bit much. That's the only way I'd recommend going taller.

I don't care too much about 80 mph, I'm more interested in 1st and 6th's top speeds. This isn't my daily driver.

In that case I can't say anything negative about going shorter. The 4.67 is fun as hell. I doubt another 4.5% would be night-and-day noticeable but every little bit helps.
Go for it |

You know of a source to figure out the top speeds of gears at that ratio? I know there are bunch out there, but the one I'm looking at now wants too much information that I don't know.
EDIT: I probably wouldn't want too go much shorter, I wouldn't think. I plan on getting on getting some really stick tires next time around, but still, I'm not trying to do 6th gear burnouts.
