transmission options - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Reaper · 04-10-2014, 11:28 PM

Im excited about the V160 swaps being done @FullBlown i really am...until i tried to source one. Holy shit thats an expensive tranny! How is there no other options yet with how fast the WHP is climbing on some people cars?

I herd a rumor there's someone on here with a tremec. Anyone know who it is? Those things are all over the junk yards near me.

Does anyone know of any companies looking into gearsets for the stock tranny? particularly 4th?

Anyone?

Anything that has the Supra name with it gets priced up, I don't get it, I never thought it was some amazing car.

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

We had looked into producing a gear sets but it was too spendy for what it is. Another concern is the synchro in these gear boxes aren't the best either.

A complete gear set will run about 5 to 6k. I guarantee they will still have issues. The oem trans is just physically too small.

so whats wrong with a tremec? they seem plentiful and alot cheaper than the v160. Does the shift linkage not line up?

FullBlown · 04-11-2014, 12:13 AM

We have no expereince with the tremec to be honest. What is the price of one? You can find used v160s for about 4 to 5k.

The v160 has been tested and proven over and over. We have use them in the s2000s with great success. There are a ton of things that goes into a transmission conversion and we chose to stick to something that we know will withstand what we are about to throw at it.

these are brand new mind you but still ALOT CHEAPER. There is many varients as well, im sure one of them fits. They come in mustangs, camaros, corvettes, vipers all sorts of high hp heavy cars.

what about the getrag 5-spd from the Toyota soarer / lexus sc300? I thought they were strong but maybe not as expensive?

Wasn't it the Mustangs that had issues with their TR6060s or was it the Mustang's with the Getrag trans that had issues?

Getrag. It's one of the reasons i stayed away from them.

From what I've found is the ratios in the tremecs are WAY too tall for out cars even boosted. They are cheap compared to a v160 but don't like to shift over 7000rpm without getting it faceplated which doesn't help street ability.

I wanted to say something, but didn't so I'll do it now...the TR6060 linked above has laughable ratios.

Dipstik-sportech · 04-11-2014, 12:16 PM

Oh they're brutal. The 6th gear is like .5:1. Top speed of 235mph anyone?!

a 10.0:1 ring gear and pinion might bring give you a usable 6th gear.

But you sure as hell wont have traction in the other 5
