Gear Changes

Hello Neal.

Swapping gears is fairly simple, use a tranny from a 1994 Prizm with a 7afe, 1.8 litre engine. This transaxle has a 3.73ish rear end versus your 4.33ish, for a 15% reduction in RPM's. This gets sweeter, first gear is about 15% lower, so overall, first gear remains unaffected!!! 1-2 shift might be a little more dramatic.....


BTW.

This is what I done for my 1987 MR2 project.
Was expecting 42 MPG, before I discovered this website!
