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?

Frank (budomove) has. I know, I was there, :p

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.

Ben (SVOboy) has done mine. I know, I was there. :p

Are we making a hit list?

MetroMPG 12-17-2006 02:42 PM

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?

XFi 12-17-2006 04:06 PM

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

MetroMPG 12-17-2006 04:12 PM

You mean they're ALL gone??

XFi 12-17-2006 04:22 PM

Yes, ...I am without :(

Last two were purchased this week and picked up this morning.

I feel empty.
