28973, yet another stratus drive gear post
Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jul-30-02 04:18 PM
I was wondering, since changing the gears takes some off top end performance, what if you replaced the drive gear with the stratus one, and left the one marked, driven gear stock? Would you have acceleration and stock like top end, or would it just suck? Just curious. How much would the stratus one take off on top end anyhow?

Forget about the loss of top end, I dont notice any at all, its all probably over the rev limit anyway

parts approx 125 bucks
labor approx 1.5 hrs.
It might be hard to find a place that will do this mod though, and if you do you wont get a warranty on their work which would scare me, thats why I do everything to my car myself

Where can I get the gears from?
And could you explain how to hook up the tranny cooler? Is there a write up or vfaq anywhere?

They don't have the same pitch in the gears
