That's not true either. Here are the ratios:

GEAR_RATIO_Between_V160 vs.
_____________Gears____W58
V160
_1____3.827
_2____2.36_____1.467____0.076
_3____1.685____0.675____0.056
_4____1.312____0.373____0.098
_5____1________0.312____0.095
_6____0.793____0.207

W58
_1____3.285
_2____1.894____1.391
_3____1.275____0.619
_4____1________0.275
_5____0.783____0.217

As you can see in every (!) case the gear ratio is longer in the 6spd.

They may be overdue for a change, along with your "fried...vsv's".

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
