OK, here's what I know, and would like to know. Our 901 has a 2nd gear that can't be changed w/out alot of $$$. If I want a shorter 3rd gear, the shade tree method would be to "flip" a 5th gear set.
If I want a taller 5th gear, would a "flipped' 3rd gear in the 5th gear location be taller than the factory 5th gear, and calm things down on the highway at 80 mph? Yes, it might make for some odd gear spacing, I'll have to think hard about that as well, but as the car is mainly an auto x toy, the short 3rd would be nice, and a taller 5th for the trip to and from the events would be welcome, although the 3,4,5 spacing might not be so good for a track day. |

Thanks for all the replies:
JP: I'm trying to give all my available $$$ away to Jake for engine parts to build a better turbo beast- I'm a little short for your parts... SWW: taller tires or different r/p will help the highway and hurt the auto cross, so good idea but not the right solution right now. Dr Evil: just what I was looking for. Sadly there is no cheep-skate flip this and that mix-n-match way to make 5th taller. $500 will go quite aways for motor parts, so it looks like I'll tear into my mostly dead trans and swap the 5th in to the partly dead trans that is in the car and make due with that set up for awhile. Back to wrenching. |

Well OK, be that way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) After youz' got a motor you may someday realise that's AX is all about speed in gears.....shifting is bad .....particularly down to first/up to second. I think I have the solution but if it works (gonna try it for a season) I'll keep it to myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
