I've heard talk of people thinking about it but have never seen any factual attempts. These things need a sixth gear.
I was pondering, and it probably wouldn't be toooooooo terribly difficult to have a bell housing adapter made for something like a 7th gen and then have a custom input shaft in a longer length made. Are there any other ideas floating around out there? --------------------  |

Longer gears utilize engine torque better for acceleration... shorter gears utilize horsepower and engine speed. If you have an abundance of low-mid range torque, longer gears will keep you in your power band longer. Anyway... yeah... The 2010 camrys are set to have a 6 speed manual and auto on the 4 banger... which is the AZ engine family... which came with a variant of the E seires trans if I remember correctly. A new possibility for the S series people perhaps? This post has been edited by Kwanza26: May 6, 2009 - 12:13 PM -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Longer gears utilize engine torque better for acceleration... shorter gears utilize horsepower and engine speed. If you have an abundance of low-mid range torque, longer gears will keep you in your power band longer. I think your thinking is a little backwards there. Gearing has nothing to do with HP. The reason gearing affects acceleration is because of the torque multiplication effect they have by keeping the car in the powerband. Typically you'll find that the shorter the gearing the better the acceleration. This holds especially true for high revving vehicles because you NEED to be higher in the RPM's to effectively utilize your power. On the other side, a vehicle that's got an abundance of power will typically be able to use a lower gear ratio because it's depending on output to move the vehicle and doesn't need to torque multiplication crutch to get it moving. Case in point, the 6GC. Stock, it needs the gear ratios found in the 5 speed to get it moving quickly. However, with a 3S-GTE swap, this becomes a hinderance because you end up with a higher torque multiplication factor, thus can pretty much at will break the tires free as well as if you do manage to keep traction, you scream straight through your powerband and have to find another gear.
