lust2luv Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I _think_ 6-speed N/As exist too. I guess it's swings and roundabouts, a more reliable box that's more expensive if things do go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 A 6-speed NA does not exist. unless someone has the money to pay for the conversion - which would be pointless as you could upgrade to and insure a TT with the money it would cost to do it. The 6-Speed TT uses a Getrag box because Getrag are world renowned for their gearboxes. The TT manual will handle 800ish HP if applied correctly with a clutch that can take it. The 5-Speed NA gearbox is probably the same unit used on the GT-4 celica. My mate had a GT-4 celica and it was always a b1tch in 1st and 2nd but then again in the end his 4th gear syncromesh welded itself to something else inside it. ...Anyway this is nw way off topic a new thread should be started if you wish to discuss gearboxes as this thread was about judder from wheels...

Branners Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Im pretty sure the 6speed NA does exist, they had 5 speeds to start with, then a few had 6 speeds and then I think they went back to 5 speeds. I think Ibrars mate had a 6 speed NA which was a rebuild after a rather interesting excursion off the road by a different UK Supras member. The car went through a fence with associated fence post embedded in the rear screen. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I stand corrected then...but its still feckin pointless having one on an NA. Though I guess it'll improve the MPG of the NA. They must be rarer than rocking horse poo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Esso oil is also mentioned in the Supra manual and is approved by Toyota for use in the Getrag gearbox.

dil Posted November 6, 2001 Author Share Posted November 6, 2001 6 speed N/A's are rare as poo!! and it took me ages to find mine, sixth gear gives a nice cruising rpm on the motorway , and even my n/a although not as brutal and some days i do wish it was an TT has a enough torque to keep it trundling around town in 6th aswell, cant say though whether having a 6th gear improves fuel economy, i only get about 200 miles a tank with 75:25 town:motorway driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
