So in the quest to stop getting dominated by S2000s at autoX events
Ive decided that changing the gearing is really going to help...along with becoming a better driver, but leaving things stock is no fun for a gear head like myself.
I have two options. First of all, my transmission is a stock 2000 5 spd, and has a final drive of 3.56:1
Option 1: I can install the final drive from a 1999 and older boxster, which will lower my gearing to 3.89:1. I understand its a direct drop in
Option 2: I can find a handicapped (automatic) transmission from a boxster S, tear it down, and end up with a 4.10:1 final drive.
Is it possible to swap parts between the autotragic and manual diffs? I really would like to use the 4.10:1 gear ratio...coupled with the 3.4 motor I'm using, it should be great for low end torque...
