transmission
 

I have a 1.6L 5spd and i need a new tranny... can i buy a 1.8L or do i need to modify the bell housing? is the bell housing bolted to or part of of the tranny? is it a direct fit? what do i have to do to drop in a 1.8L 5 spd or a 6 spd?

Can you do a search?

i believe the 90-97 trannys are all the same correct me if i am wrong?

They're all the same, different speedo gears for some years maybe. Otherwise it should be fine.

id like a taller gear ratio... my car goes through first in less then 1 second.. turbo hits at 3000rpm and goes right over to 7300rpm

Then you need a different rearend, not a different transmission.

well for starters i need a new transmission, the car wont go into reverse (54k miles) and sticks going into 3rd so i cant power shift into third, and first gear is very short

Cause your granny shifting and not double clutching like you should.

ok vin diesel.... lol you amost had me? you NEVER had me! You NEVER had your car!

+ban

why is everyone obsessed with banning? what did i do? quote the next line in a movie?

dude, the 5 speeds are god for 300 hp, and the 6 speeds will bolt up to yor car, and handle alittle more power. You need a different rear end ratio to solve the shitty gearing for first gear.

Do a motherfucking

does anyone else have this problem? first gear is like one second long? but all other gears are great? short but great?

Then start is 2nd gear and quit your whining. We all have a short first gear. If you don't like it then get a taller rear end. Or you can spend a small fortune on the Quaife gearset.

i would start in first but i also slalom(smaller version of autocross) and the idea is to stay in one gear... first... and it would just be nice to make first gear just a little longer, the rest could stay the same

Get a taller ring and pinion. You probably have 4.30s right now, get 3.9s.

do you happen to know how much that would run me?

no, but i bet a SEARCH would bring up all kinds of information. Believe it or not, you're not the first to think of this.
