Is anybody else's GT geared extrememly low like mine? Im usually shifted into 4th gear before 50 mph, and i was just wondering if this is normal, of maybe if it has something to do with the fact that mine is rebuilt and maybe the previous owner didnt do something right with the motor re-install. Until i find out what the deal is with this, ill just use the excuse "its set up for drag racing"
 if this is normal, what can i do for better top end? --------------------  Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |

You wont loose torque simply because the gears are different, Thats the engine side. Okay you will "loose" torque if you drive at the same speeds since the revs would be lower with the 3S tranny. Someone already stated (I think it was Lagos) and said that he drove 75 or 80 mph @ 3900rpm. On my tranny thats 3200-3300 rpm. So in a sprint in the same gear he would have an advantage because of higher revs/boost.
If a 5S tranny fits a 3S-GTE and the 3S-GE tranny fits the 3S-GTE you would assume that the 3S tranny will bolt up to a 5S engine. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!
