3S-GTE Swap Guys -- Tranny and Gearing Related, What's it turning?? Options

[Fastbird]

For those who do have the 3S-GTE swap, couple of questions:

First, for those with the stock GT tranny, how are you finding the gearing and relative ability of the tranny to handle the power.

Second, for those with the E153 tranny, how is it's gearing compared to a stock GT's??? More or less RPM's at highway speed?? Better (shorter) gearing off the line or taller gearing??

Does anyone have a breakdown of the specific gears ratio for each tranny??

Thanks!! (I did a search but came up empty on this one)

Now the question becomes.......is there a way to change the final drive ratio or a way to have a custom gearset made for the tranny??

Anythings possible, for the right amount of cash

The S54 tranny that came with the JDM 3SGE motors had a different final gear ratio, I can look up the part number on the EPC when I get home - maybe its something you can special order. Otherwise, you could have some custom gears made. I had TRE (teamrip.com) rework my MR2 trans and I know they can make gears when needed - but it'll run some serious cash. My MR2 tranny shifts like a dream though!
