Hello I was wondering if those who have done the e153 trans swap can report their results. I specifically would like to know if you feel it accelerates much slower with the taller gears? Also how the taller 5th gear affected your gas mileage? Any other thoughts?? I am wondering if the taller 5th gear might help my mileage as the rpms are fairly high while cruising.
Thanks, Brandon |

S54 accelerates faster than an E153
the pros of getting the E153 is the LSD (if any) and the low RPM levels.... my personal experience is getting a ~74 MPH @ 3000RPM for the E153 compared to a ~66MPH at the same RPM of the S54 tranny on 5th gear.... my 2 cents! This post has been edited by zeus83: May 12, 2011 - 11:33 PM |

depends on what your intents are. if you want just the lsd, u can get one for the s54 tranny, and have the quick shifting for the drag, while possibly coming out cheaper. the e153 from what i understand is better for top end (and can handle more power). so its all up to you bro!
