I think they should make a 6 speed as an upgrade....i mean the new saab 9-3's (both 4 and 6 cylinder versions) are f/i and front wheel drive and we use the same exact tranny and shifters. What do you all think?

thedubsack85

the lsd maker(qualife) has a six speed conversion with all new main and couter shafts.. havent herd anything on pricing..

6 spd maybe, but at least different gear ratios.

I agree but having to shift into another gea can hurt your 1/4th. However I must say I would love to have the sixth gear to hit on the highway.

TCarter

true, but how many of you actualy get into 5th gear for the qtr?

id guess top of 3rd, maybe mid-high 4th at most.

I'm quite happy the way things are..................2nd goes to 120km/h, 3rd goes to about 180km/h what more do you want except to get there faster!!!!

Damn, said the same thing to my Servcie Manager the other day when we were talking some owner feedback. 6th gear would be a God send on my 80 mile round trip every day.

The saab 6 speed will work but good luck finding one and if you do I hope you have deep pockets. I was able to get one from a buddy of mine who is a salvage broker but it took a long time to locate.

id love a 6th gear, a nice 2000-2500 rpm at 70mph

ss/sc 5 speed original tranny is from saab or no?

i would vote to keep all the gears the same as they are right now, and then just stick on a sixth gear for some crazy good gas mileage on the high way.

thats what qualife has done. dont know about pricing. new mainshaft and counter shaft with a 6th gear.. and you retain the lsd.. the f40 doesnt have an lsd.

http://www.******************/forums...hlight=qualife is a link to the RLF.. there a thread on it over there.

would that make first even shorter than it already is?

Quicksilver83

crazy, i was just asked this question by a car tech who was rotating my tires. A 6th gear would be nice, but i rather they make 1st gear ratio more longer than add another gear.

thedubsack85

no it retain's all of the factory gear ratio's 1 through 5. it jus add's a 6th. and its from qualife. so you know its strong.. there's talk about an f40 swap but they dont have an lsd and are very pricey..

bojan

they should just add the stage 2 from factory and better axsles and clutch

thedubsack85

and then the trans go's.. its a system of weak links so that u dont break anything major..

DaREDss

i want a better second gear cuz if you dont hit 1st to second just right you arent going anywhere
