"Shift feeling where the feeling which is made the fast shift change where it is by dog change system, click is good is feature."
man i would hate to use one of these in a street car, wonder if they make a snychro mesh one |
Did anyone read the babelfish translation of the description at the bottom?
Heres a favorite quote from it. Also the entering of 0 missions is satisfactory. When you saw it seems that is not rainbow everyone of oil. |
I want one.
|
i needed one of those so bad for my old car...
|
Typical japanese translation.
Much like the biblical chat on the side of some rice cars. BTW, that's a sequential shifter right? |

anyone know the yen conversion to US bucks
|
Batman, pattern of H when shifting is satisfactory.
Widebody2, Overseas it does not dispatch, however, 242,000 converts to 2300 u.s. dollars. |
Hmmmm.
I might have $2300 to spend. Wonder what shipping and import duties would cost.... Also, if this thing breaks who/how would i get it repaired?? |
It's the same HKS 6-speed dog box that's been out for years. Have any of you ever driven a car without synchromesh? It sucks and IMO, is not streetable. (I know, I know, old manual cars didn't have synchromesh but who says they were fun to shift....)
A six speed tranny is totally unnecessary in our cars. |
GOD!!
|
If you look at the ratio, would you really gain anything over a stock tranny besides strenth. I think 6th gear on this might be higher then the FDs 5th. I would rather have something that has like a 6th on the T56 trannies, just a highway low rpm gas saver gear.

Fuck that....I'm thinking about buying it.
|
umm i broke 3 trannies is 7000 miles on my FD. hell yes i would buy that
|
6 speed is too much rowing if you ask me, and that extra shift is only gonna slow you down in the quarter

Here's the math on the gear ratios...
FD w/4.10 R&P, stock tires 1st - 3.483:1 - 14.28:1 final drive 2nd - 2.015:1 - 8.26:1 3rd - 1.391:1 - 5.70:1 4th - 1.000:1 - 4.10:1 5th - 0.719:1 - 2.95:1 Cruising, 3rd gear, 30 mph - ~2,300 rpm Crusiing, 5th gear, 70 mph - ~2,800 rpm FD w/HKS 6-speed, 4.10 R&P, stock tires 1st - 2.733:1 - 11.37:1 final drive 2nd - 1.984:1 - 8.13:1 3rd - 1.548:1 - 6.35:1 4th - 1.246:1 - 5.11:1 5th - 1.000:1 - 4.10:1 6th - 0.807:1 - 3.31:1 Cruising, 3rd gear, 30 mph - ~2,600 rpm Cruising, 6th gear, 70 mph - ~3,100 rpm Two obvious observations... 1. Your gas mileage will decrease. 2. It wasn't intended for drag racing. |
Jim, can you run those numbers but with a 4.777 final gear with 17" 275 Nittos?
