hello all, im new here. im looking to save more gas with my 99 gt. i was wondering if there is another differential i could use to lower my cruising rpm.
if i want more power ill leave it in 4th gear. 3000 revs at 60 mph or so seems a little high, granted its good for power. anyone have any ideas? |

the E153 (MR2 Turbo / Solara transmission) has a slightly taller final drive ratio of 4.285 over the S54 (94-99 Celica GT) of 4.176. The difference in gear ratios will lead to an increase of 5.8 mph cruising at a steady 3000 RPM on 5th gear. (source)
although, i have no idea whether the FD gears can be swapped, but it's probably easier to just swap the entire transmission and get the appropriate drive axles to get it working. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
