Hello,

That's perfect -- thanks for the info!

So, it looks like the xA has an "overdrive" 4th and 5th gear, a slightly taller 3rd gear, and they both have the same 1st & 2nd gears -- so the xA's high revs are due to the low ratio final drive?

The question that pops into my mind is -- can one get the Yaris final drive and just bolt it in; or change out the gears?
