Celica Gearboxes

[Younes]

Can anyone confirm if both the 140bhp and 190bhp celicas have the same 6sp gearboxes or if they are different?

Many thanks

The ratios are different between the 140 and 190 Gearboxes. This is probably due to the 6200 RPM needed to engage Lift on the VVTL-i Engine.

Have you got a list of the ratios?

I can't help with ratios, although if you pop over to www.celica-club.co.uk i bet someone will know the answer.

I do know that both gearboxes match up to both engines. I used to run a 190 engine, with a 140 gearbox, the gearing was a bit mad, i could do well over 100 in 3rd for instance, BUT when you change gear you can't keep it above 6200rpm, and therefore in "Lift", so everytime you change gear you drop down to 5500rpm, then it slowly creeps back up to 6200rpm, then your in lift again.

Its fine, it works, and the potential top speed it rediculous, but it got annoying after a while, i just wanted to be able to change gear and keep the revs above 6200.

Hope that helps in some way.
