In order to get lower revs when cruising on the highway I want to swap in a 5th gear from a KL tranny
What part do I exactually need?
I believe i've read somewhere you could easily swap just this gear whitout tearing it apart
Thnx
5th gear replacement

Just remember what order the stuff comes off in, and replace it the opposite way...

I actually don't have an idea if they are good and if I'm missing something (or not)

Re: 5th gear replacement
If they're from a G series going into a G series... you should have all the bits.

Re: 5th gear replacement
can't we use the 5th gear from a mx-6 for the v6 trans to lower rpms as well?

Re: 5th gear replacement
mx-6/626 5th are the exact same, and will lower it a bit from the MX-3, but its the FD ratio that makes the real difference.
You ideally want the MX-6 trans.
The "official trans swap" page had a major makeover and makes much more sense now.
