Phil, do you have a link to that Cusco updated gearset???

yes

http://www.cusco.co.jp/en/catalog/transmission_gear_set.html

but its not ideal for your application or mine really.

this mfactory route is likely a good bet depending how it plays out.

Phil

so many wants for this! glwts dude.

Thanks pal

Essentially what you want to do is take a 6 speed box and convert to 5 speed by doing what you just said.

Would still be a crazy amount of work though!

Yes that's what I was getting at, though I think the work Involved is no more than what would be put in to making a stronger 6speed gearset - mfactory or whoever would be making custom shafts anyways and instead of making a 3rd gear they would make a double bearing brace to hold the shafts equal distance apart at the main flex point. Plenty of brands do it for the Honda boxes.

Phil

I hope I don't sound like a pure penis but anyways why not just be happy with 280 lol it's a 1.3 at the end of the day frontwd. Big massive turbo's are useless power unless your fwd. Of course gearbox's are going to fuck up your running triple power from a 15 years old ++ gearbox

Nothing wrong with your question mate it's perfectly reasonable and why we all have to accept that in the current situation failures will happen. But

1) 280 isn't the limit of the box it could easily blow at less than thatp.

2) it's all the tune/setup - if 300/350 is useless in your fwd car then your fwd has a useless setup. I don't spin in second gear and I've plenty of power availible. One of the fastest timeattack cars in the world is a fwd honda.

3) this solution would solve one of the main hinderances to light weight performance Toyotas (ie it's bigger than starlets)

Phil

Shaft flex and gears riding eachother is indeed cause of failure.

If being tracked competitively a c series box (for a turbo car) could benefit from a extra bearing carrier in the middle of the box the reduce the slop and flex and run first second-space-third and then 4th beyond the bearing retainer in the end cap where 5th currently is.

For a turbo car you need half decent ratios to make use of the torque and on track your unlikely to run out of go if it's geared to 135 ish (with head room to lift the limiter should you ever need it)

Long first gear would be ideal

6speed c60 no weaker than c52 from what I've read
