What year is the 7AFE from, I think the auto in the Corolla was a 3 speed, at least that is what Motortrend states for a 1996 Corolla. Never mind that's for the 1.6 litre.

Really you're not going to get a better gear ratio for acceleration with an auto and I believe the Corolla is you're only option. Besides your ratio is made to come close to the manual because of the lack of a fifth gear, that would explain why the ST auto tops out at around 125mph and so does the GT manual. You could opt for a custom gear set but that's pretty expensive.

I got to go for tonight but keep checking i'll try to help out, chances are the Corolla does have a closer ratio to take advantage of the lack of horsepower so it can move safely into traffic.

I just got off the phone with Toyota and the Corolla transmission will not work due to the sensors being different, other than that they are mechanically similar.

No, they just said they we're similar but they had two different codes plus being electronic transmissions they would have a different harness and sensors. Try calling 843-672-3925 and ask for John he specializes in Toyota swaps and can probably help you with it.
