need taller 5th gear for my fwd help tranny experts

[turbo addict]

I want to know what kind of options I have to get a taller 5th gear. I have a swap in my mirage turbo and my 5th is much too small. I have plenty of torque to drag it around and drive on the interstate much more than I like so anything would help. thanks

What year is the trans? 92+ and this will work:

Jacks Transmissions LLC — EVOIII 5th gear

unfortunately I have either the mirage tranny or a 91 eclipse turbo. Also I have to keep the 25 spline diff. Can I put a 25spline diff in a 92 front drive tranny then use the evo 5th? Also do I need anything else to do this such as a fork or anything?
Thanks

I'm not sure if the front diff will fit a 92. Never tried it. The 92 is the trans to get though as it's a lot stronger and has the bigger 5th gear synchro which will fit the EVOIII taller 5th easy.

I wouldnt mind getting the 1992 tranny but if the diff wouldnt fit then I can't use it. As my axles or only 25 spline (mirage turbo axles) you cant use eclipse axles as they are to long.

There's no way to swap the CV shaft cups over?

Not that I could find. I was told by another tranny builder to go to driveshaft shop and buy axles (custom) but I would have half of what I have in the car for them. What is different front the 90 to the 92 up? Would I be able to swap any parts over (case or whatever) or as I said do the 25spline diff in the 92 tranny. I also know that a few of the hyundai trannys are similar and wondered if anything would interchange with what I have? I had been told that the sonata 5th is the same ratio as the awd (.666) and swaps right in to what I have, have you heard of this or tried something like that??

Is there some place where I can find the ratios of the Hyundai trannys?

PS thanks for the time and responses

Hello, sorry, but I'm afraid I'm a little weak in that area. I just don't know for sure. I would imagine the cups can be swapped and so can the diffs in the units, but I'm just not 100% sure...

thanks. I need to get this figured out asap. I blew up 5th gear today on the tranny that is in the car:-( Kinda pissing me off. ever since I put hte 2.0 in I have been having problems one after the other. I tried to get on it in 4th but just spun. So rolled into it in 5th and at 5000-5500 it blew up. I can't win.

So, you have a 91 AWD trans in the car now? or a FWD turbo as it's not clear.

What is your rpm/speed at your cruising speed?

Right now I have a jdm mirage turbo tranny in it but I have a 91 front wheel drive tranny that will need to go in as I killed the 5th gear on jdm tranny in the car. I also have a quaife that is going in the next tranny.
