What transmission did the WRC Rally cars use? Options

[czwalga]

Anyone know which tranny they used or ever even seen one? I can tell you it's clearly not an E154F wrc out of the st205. The gear ratios are freaking horrible for a rally car.

I've looked for potential solutions that arent competely insane as far as budget goes for better gear ratios, but it seems pretty much like a lost cause.

No they defintenatly used a different gearbox. belive it was a 6 spd X-TRAC type. Actually the entire suspension was something frm xtrac....looked nothing like the Homo/commercial models.

The latest Group A version of the Celica GTFour was a very balanced car to drive. The factory cars used XTrac gear boxes and where equipped with a system called Hydraulic Torque Sensor. This system continuously varied the part of engine torque sent to the front or rear wheels depending on whether the car was accelerating or braking. As usual in rally cars all chassis where reinforced and many more welding points applied than in normal, street, cars.

There is a ton of other info, along with pics of the actual suspension and transmission. Then there is also that site where you can purchase TTE parts (used of course).....EDIT one of the sites that usually sells "rally parts" is in the link above...
