This setup will probably not be going into a mitsubishi or toyota. Im just looking at toyota for a possible transmission. I havent even picked a vehicle to put it in yet. Im Looking for something kinda light and rwd, but havent narrowed it down yet. I guess you could say that im doing the project backwards. Most projects start with a car first and build from there. This one starts with the engine, then find a good tranny that likes the engine, then find a shell that the engine/tranny will fit into. Im not brand loyal unless it is the best or most practical option.

The reason im not using a mitsu trans is because of the limited options for rwd (2 versions of basicly the same transmission) and too low of a shift limit, so im trying to find one that will better match the powerband of the engine.(potentally up to 9k or more)

I mean no disrespect to toyota, the people that own them, or anybody on this forum.



Does anybody make upgraded tranny parts for the w series?

What is the shift limit on the r series? Are there any upgrades for it?

Another option that I have is a mazda tranny from a rx7. It will shift at real high rpm since it is setup for a rotary, but I havent looked into its holding power.

please keep the info coming.

Thank you for all the help
