MX-6 Tranny Swap
What is the point of swapping the MX-6 transmission? What are the bennefits, is there a down side? I would like to know, becuz in my persuit of speed, I would love to swap this if it would be beneficial.

Re: MX-6 Tranny Swap
I could be wrong <BR>but I think the mx-6 tranny has a taller final gear witch will make you a bit slower but lower rpm on the highway

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.

Re: MX-6 Tranny Swap
You still haven't made it clear whether you want top speed or acceleration. I swapped to the MX-6 gearbox because it was cheaper. Having had both, I'd like my old gearset back, because it seems to just be so long between shifts. I havent had any track time yet, but I'm not guessing these gears helped it.

Re: MX-6 Tranny Swap
i suppose we're talking about manuals....<P>i have the mx-6 auto tranny.... it does have higher final gear so accelleration off the line is bothered, my shifts easily hit +5k out of first. But i like the fact that i can floor it out of first and not worry about a 4000 repair bill 
. The biggest difference i feel is when you're coming to a red light and slowing down, then the light turns green, theres no bog or buck if you slam the gas again!
