Just wondering if anyone has endevoured to install a modern 6 speed box in a Celica yet?
Doesn't seem to be any info around, just curious. -------------------- Mike W

Why did anyone ever make a 6 speed? To have more driving gears and therefore, higher gearing capabilities. I'm just slightly confused by what you're wanting. You want, and I'm making this up for the sake of having numbers, a top speed of 150. You can have that with the E153, or you are trying to make your own 6 speed that will also do 150, but with more shifting. You would lose time every single time you change gears, so I'm just confused by what you're looking for. Hypothetically, you might make it to 60 faster, but you also might not. Depends on how much time you lose when you shift.
As I understand it, there is X amount of room within the transmission case, and those 5 gears take up every bit of that room. No extra space for another gear. You CAN have 6 gears in that transmission case, but they will have to be custom gears. It sounds to me like you just need to decide what ratio you want each of your 6 gears to be and then have them custom made. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
