Thanks. I have a quote from Clarke for a trans with WPC treatment, Quaife LSD, and shorter gears for $5,400.
Just curious, why do you want shorter gears? I find them too short already for my power level, I wish first was maybe a tad longer :(


@OP I'm interested in pricing, probably don't have it in the budget though.

I also want longer gears. I wish 1st was longer and 2nd too so our 0-60MPH times would be representative of the cars performance. It gets canned a lot for the 0-60MPH but its a gearing issue. The care has plenty of torque to easily row those 1st 2 gears with proper ratios.

Agreed, first gear is almost completely useless :/

Mine is a track car, would love to have a 3/4/5 that absolutely rip through the power curve.

Yup, 3.55 gears would work awesome on the Fist . In Forza, it's the ratio I use as default on the ST for Nordschleife setup. Good use of powerband in third fourth and fifth, super smooth.

Stock gearing is fine for the stock tune, but I agree, as torque increases longer gears in 1st and 2nd would be nice.

Would he have any interest in installing the M-Factory LSD into my car? Assuming he's relatively local?
Yeah he’s about an hour north of Atlanta. I can text you his number.
