Thanks for attempting to help...

You are correct, the '06 Corolla XRS (which is what I drive) has the exact same Yamaha-designed 2zz-ge engine and the exact same C60 6-speed tranny as the Celica GTS.

I've researched the "easy" swaps ad nauseum. If the Celica/Matrix/Vibe 180 bhp GTS models had had more favorable gearing- I would have swapped for one of those long ago.

So it looks like I need a custom 6th gear? I need something taller than the 0.725 6th gear that comes stock in my C60 tranny.

Again: Who? Where? How much?

Thanks in advance.
