I've had my car for going on 2 years and yet I cant stop doing this, almost every time I hop on the freeway I accelarate at a rather fast pase 3rd, 4th, 5th and once I get to about 3k in 5th (60-65mph) I pull it out of 5th and try and drop it into 6th I catch myself before I slam into reverse spin out and flip off the road but still why. it makes no sence to me that I always go for a 6th gear when I know I dont have one. Is it me or does the 5sfe tranny gear ratio feel like it should have a 6th gear?
anyone else have a problem with this, and does anyone know of a swapable tranny that has a 6th gear, I know the salara trany bults up, but I thnk its just another 5spd. -------------------- ![]() |

well if you get nitty gritty you could change 1 gear....or so
just depends...like i said for the jettas we have a 5th gear conversion which actually helps us and puts us in a much better part of the power band and gains power... (then again thats a different car and tranny but an example nun the less) and honestly what power are you looking to gain in 5th gear anyways on a celica? cause there isn't any there to start haha i'd like a 5th gear conversion on my celica just to drop the rpms about a grand and save some gas |
