tjc transport Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 to get more speed from a trans swap, you will need a trans with an overdrive gear. or change the rear gear ratio.

thomastractorsvc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 See if you can find an aux gear box Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Another box will take some frame length. What is the wheelbase now? What model 10 spd? TRDxxx? Is it overdrive? What is your current ratio out back? 5.xx? Need to get it into the 4's. An OD trans with 4.62 rear will get you 65 mph on the floor.

I would like to see what you have for a tranmission! A double overdrive with 9.10 rears might run 50 Edited April 14, 2016 by terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
