Reduce RPM during highway cruising

[hachiroku clan]

whatt??!! u mean Final Drive is not the last gear?? aiseh... all this while i thought so...

final drive changes all the gears' ratio.. the whole shaft is connected to FD it so it effects all.. something like dat, hard to explain hehe..

What tire size are you using? And what is the original (OEM) tire size supposed to be?

Let me make it simple, changing final drive will change all your gear ratio then stock ratio. We wan rev faster will change final drive to 4.773(stock 3.xx) all your gear will be closer, hence get better performance of your engine,less top speed high rpm. The other way around will get more top speed less rpm but engine will fill sluggish no power then b4. Just change 5th gear is better.

Ori spec would be 185/60/14.

w00t! I learnt a lot from this thread. No 1 lesson learnt is FD= Final Drive does not equal 5th gear. Paiseh bro n0th1n.

I thk changing the 5th gear would be the best bet after all the discussion here. Especially if dont want to involve so much cost and sacrifice existing performance.

If got moolah then can think of plonking a 6spd :p

Thanks all!

Just did a quick calculation with the calculator that bro Daylight668 gave with 185/65/14

Stock C56 GB running 110km/h @ 3440 RPM
C56 GB with .725 5th GR running 110km/h @ 3060 RPM
Stock C160 GB running 110km/h @ 3214 RPM

Does this mean stock Corolla AE111 not capable of 110km/h @ 2500 RPM

Not sure about manual, auto is around that rpm.

That's some useful info.. AE111 is capable of that bro, my car is doing it but its auto.. Manual should be just a bit higher.. Get that clutch checked

Bro FGT & Dayline6688 i got the clutch checked...the mechanic say its doing fine no slipping wor... hmm maybe need to get 2nd opinion hahaha

gonna try out some stuff like getting wheels upgraded and maybe change 5th gear....watch out for updates in the near future! :D

Did your mech test it until the 5th gear? Coz clutch slipping usually is not noticeable when you are in the first three gears. Only in the top gear that it's set to transfer 1:1 torque from the engine so thats when it slips.. Just my honest opinion bro.. All the best
