lower final drive ratio?

[tharaka]

i hate sitting at 3k rpm when going at 100

is there a way to change the final drive ratio? im guessing new front/rear diff?

tharaka are you wanting longer legs ? The awd auto has the longest legs.
I don't think primary & secondary gears from an auto can fit in a manual.
If they could you could run a 3.307 rear diff. Evo O has a 0.617 5th gear.
If it could be done you'd only get 10kph more at 6,000rpm = not worth it.

u can get a extra 10% overdrive 5th, and there is also a 25% :wink: but dont fit our box's :evil:

can i just fit the front and rear diffs from the auto?

The front diff wouldn't fit would it?

Different size or so i was lead to believe.

tharaka the pinion that runs the crown wheel in a manual is not swapable
into an auto box (( That is why I had to get my auto crown
wheel machined to fit the viscous lsd. Couldn't swap the bastards over.
I wanted to shorten my legs. You're wanting to go longer.
These gears bellow i'm talking about. Dunno if they can be swaped.
Auto primary - 1.125 & secondary - 3.611 = 4.062 final drive
Man primary - 1.275 & secondary - 3.866 = 4.929 final drive < vr4
Auto 3.307 rear & VR4 manual has 3.545 rear
Both auto's & manuals have 1.090 transfer gearing
