I dont know if you guys know but the tranny in the mini cooper s is the exact tranny in our svtf's. So any parts they come out with for the mini s will fit our svt's. I thought that was kinda cool.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">that's a damn good questions. i wonder if it would make our cars feel more peppy. it'd be awesome if 1-5 were shorter and 6 was 1:1 or OD for highway crusing.Originally posted by Qdoba Addict:
So could you swap in the Mini getrag to get the better gear ratios?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Here you go:Originally posted by aychseven:
if they are different, does anyone have the numbers to compare the ratios?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No, the Mini Cooper S gears are taller than the standard SVT Focus gears, so if you put the Mini gearbox in the Focus you will accelerate slower that with the stock gearbox.Originally posted by focusSvT01:
i'm no mechanic, but if my comparisons are correct, these things will make you accelerate faster and top out around 160, just more of a guesstimation, whadya think?

Here are the gear ratios for the mini cooper
Now, here is a link to quaife which offers a new product(Dog Engagement) toward the bottom of the page. I am not that familiar with gear ratios etc, so I don't reall know what benefit this would have, could someone enlighten us/me? Quaife
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The SVT Focus/Cooper S gears in that link are not straight cut - they are described as "semi helical".Originally posted by Scottybob:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Neither have I, but I suspect that they really would not be practical at all. They are extremely noisy.Never drove a road car with em though.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The PT Turbo does have a manual transmission made by Getrag, but it is a five-speed unit. I expect it is completely different from the six-speed in the SVT and Cooper S.Originally posted by xFORGIVENx:
[QB]i'm pretty sure that the PT Turbo also has the getrag.[QB]
