Help me understand something
 

I'm kinda pissed about this forum. I posted a question yesterday about swapping in a transmission into a RX-7, and about 40 people looked at it. Only one person answered. I want to know if everyone that looked at the thread thought it was a waste of space or not (is it my user name?). Id just like to know so i can figure out if i still want to come to this forum or not. Honestly its kinda stupid that I get less posts about a valid question than people that ask a stupid question like how much HP an FD makes stock. :mad:

u might wanna stop whining and post a link to the thread with your original question...

Sorry. Didnt mean to be such whiny bitch. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=73496.

If I knew I'd help
seems like all the nice people are stupid haha
good luck
if one of these people that know don't answer I'll beat the fuck out of them

here's the link.

there are more people who know how much HP is in a stock FD than have done a tranny swap.

Thanks I already put the link in earlier tho. Youre right about more people knowing stock HP than tranny swapping. I just wanted to consult any/all experts in here before I called the tranny shop to ask about placing an order.

not too sure about swapping in a getrag but you can buy either the hks or the qauife 6 spds.

check out this thread:

that'll definitely help. thanks dude. any other info is welcome though.

Damn dude....did you ever think that maybe the 40 views had nothing to add to the subject...?? It can happen you know... personally I'd rather someone not answer if they didn't know shit.

Yeah, just because they looked at your thread doesnt mean they have to post to it. A lot of people read these so they can get a better understanding of what is going on with other people's cars and maybe apply it to themselves later on. If someone could help you out they would. People are on this forum to help each other out.

can i ask why you want swap? did you trash your old trans and need another or is for performance? if is for performance and needs to support some huge HP i cant really say you would need to. from my stand point i think adam s. has been the only one to swap to a different trans but i might be wrong on this and i know peter still has the 5spd in his car aswell as ari from rx-7.com if anything you would beef up the diff. but this is my thiughts i could be way off here but i dont think so

i had to fix my spelling i know it sucks

many people have swapped out transmissions, but most of them overseas

reasons for not: really expensive

reasons for are usually b/c they do serious racing and are making BIG power and dont want the stock FD tranny being a weak point with the helical gears. dogtooth (straight) gears are loud, but a lot stronger.

if the stock tranny and many other stock transmissions, 1st is usually a straight toothed gear.....now imagine if all of your gears were that loud...

oh.....and i personally didnt see the original thread - havent been spending as much time over here lately or on the forum period...

Well, what I wanted to do is have a shorter geared trans for better 0-60 and 1/4 mile times (also a new LSD), plus I would rather have 6 gears in the car instead of 5. Once again I have to say im sorry for whining so much. I promise to be more understanding in the future. Thanks for the info (including the 6-speed thread). I was just inquiring before I went ahead and checked how much it would cost for me to put the Getrag in.
