Jwink25 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hi all, I have a 94 Probe GT. My tranny went south and I will be installing a new one. My question for you guys is about gear ratios. I have two transmissions to choose from. I would like to know which would be the better one for drag racing. The ratios are as follows: Tranny number 1, from a 2.0L I4 probe is... 1st 3.307 2nd 1.833 3rd 1.233 4th .914 5th .717 final ratio is...3.850 Tranny number 2, from a 2.5L V6 probe is... 1st 3.307 2nd 1.833 3rd 1.310 4th 1.030 5th .795 final ratio is...4.105 My car has most of the bolt ons and has about 200-220HP (engine) So...since 1st and 2nd gears are the same would it start off slower with the 2.0L tranny since it has a taller final drive? But I get good burn outs now...some maybe a taller gear would be better anyway? The gears are closer together on the 2.0L tranny...would this give me better performance even if it has a little taller final gear? I also have a CM stage IIR clutch and a 9lb flywheel. This might play into chosing what tranny would be better for launching as well. You thoughts and comments on this would be great! There are a lot of smart people on here and many with drag racing experince. Here is a link to Probetalk about my tranny problems... http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?p=1921789360&posted=1#post1921789360 Thanks!
