I used the search and came up with nothing so if this is a repost I am sorry...

Does anyone know of a company that has designed or is going to design a 6-speed for the tC?

 

i doubt it

 

i doubt it

 

What about the 6-speed the Celica GT-S uses?

Please Toyota give us a 6-speed

 

could you mate that to the camry engine we use? to bad the camry doesn't have a 6 - speed (although.. I'm not sure why it would)

 

im sure if you droped there 1.8l engine in it would work with that trany but i dont think you can just pair up the 2.4l we have with there tranny

and i just checked the matrix its another 1.8l

lets work on getting the 4wd off the rav4 on our tc's that would either be realy cool or make the car handle funny some one should try it

 

I personally think that would be bad a$$... I would be all for it.... someone lead the way

 

even permanent 4wd (awd) from the rav4 would be cool... it would give great traction

 

Yeah the Rav4 AWD system paired with the Stage II Scionspeed. Can anyone say Evo Killer. :D

 

i dont know about evo killer once you get all that friction from awd your going to loose power

 

We can dream can't we? Fine step it up to ScionSpeed Stage III with some other upgrades. Ah screw I'll just buy the Evo.

 

lol i guess thats the cheap fast way of doing it

 

evo is a rocket straight from the box.

 

yeah i know one of my buddys has one and the MR is even better lsd's all around and an extra 5hp (not mutch but the lsd's are where its at)

 

Yeah the MR is crazy fast, the only factory 4-banger that'll hang with a Ferrari. What is it 4.6 0-60? Damn that's fast.

 

I think the tC 5 speed is geared well enought to not need a 6 speed. It would only be good for lower reving while highway cruzing above 80mph. But the way it is now, you dont' need to downshift to pass people.

 

The main reason I'd go with a 6th gear is too decrease the cruising RPM's at 75 -80mph. It would be nice to have the car at a stable 2500-3000 RPM's instead of 4000. But the number one reason would have to be so that when we do eventually get one of these turbo kits, the 6th gear would up our top speed (pending limiter removal) without needing a total re-gearing of our stock 5-speeds. Basically it would be great to have the option. Isn't that what Scion's all about, options?

 

So instead of regearing the 5 speed, you want to do a whole tranny swap!
I guess my problem is the only 6 speeds i've driven, Nissan SE-R Spec-V and Acura RSX Type S, did not seem to need or take advantage of the 6 speed. Not enough power, I guess.

 

My old Evo was hella quick, it'll take quite a bit of work to a tC to even hang with an Evo, let alone beat it. (And I'm not talking just drag racing!)

 

Why is swapping a tranny funny? Someone explain this to me. Obviously I missed the punchline.

It may not be the cheaper way to go but it's definitely quicker and takes less experience. I prefer not to disassemble my tranny and would rather swap, it's just easier. Plus then I'd have a spare.

Why does a car necessarily need to be powerful to benefit from a 6th gear? A 6th gear by definition is a 2nd Overdrive gear and really has no purpose in racing (unless you have the power). The Celica GT-S, SE-R SpecV and RSX Type-S are all not very powerful but the have them.
