Who else has done a taller transmission swap?
Just working on my final report for my site about the Blackfly's transmission transplant, and wanted to point to other GS members who have done swaps.
I know Ben and Dax have done automatic to 5-speed conversions.
Has anyone else done a manual swap just to get taller gearing?

OK thanks. So far I know of 3 people who've done manual-manual swaps for taller gears. (Me, Frank & a guy at teamswift.) Geometry put taller tires on his car for a similar effect.

Only if you want to.
(Think I'd be asking about nearby VX's and XFI's if I were making a hit list...
)
EDIT: actually, before that hit list I'd have to make a list of people with more parking space than I currently have... and a heated shop...

Why would you want a heated shop? Does it get cold in Canadia or something?

I swaped out the XFi and various other Metros for the taller gearing of the VX, does that count?
