Is it possible?

[GSTdOff]

I know you guys might shoot me for asking this but, is it possible to have the 2g tranny rebuilt with different gear ratios? Or has anyone ever had a custom 6-speed tranny built for the 2g turbo?? I was wondering because the 2g turbos seem to fall flat on their faces after third gear? I was wondering what would give the car to have more top end capability.

Yes you can rebuild your tranny with diffrent gear ratio's and i'm sure if u REALLY REALLY wanted a 6 speed and had a shit load of money well then money can make n e thing happen. If you search this has been covered before and you can get alot more info but since I'm nice heres a couple links for ya to check out...

Hope those help ya!

Those definitely help and thanks, but what I don't understand from those sites is do they use the stock ratios and just build a stronger tranny or do the trannies utilize different ratios?

Q. What are the gear ratios?
A. Gear ratio's are as follows:

The first number is the actual gear ratio.
The second number is max mph @ 9000RPM on a 24.5" diameter tire.
The third number is max mph @ 9000RPM on a 26" tire. We calculated it using these numbers because these are the most popular tire sizes for slicks. Radials for the stock DSM are somewhere in between around 25”.


1st 2.429 57.2 mph 60.7 mph
2nd 1.579 87.9 mph 93.3 mph
3rd 1.174 118.2 mph 125.5 mph
4th 0.885 156.9 mph 166.5 mph
5th 0.690 201.3 mph 213.6 mph

Final Drive (stock) 3.8667

We are not factoring tire growth of 2" diameter usually by 120mph (on slicks) this means that theoretically you can take it past 170mph in 4th gear. This means one less shift in the quarter mile, and you don’t have to run your engine to dangerously high RPM levels.

The Ratio's were chosen as a best all around ratio for both different tire sizes and in between tire sizes (radials). These ratios also allowed us to use the strongest possible gear and tooth profiles. The best possible all around choice.
