6-Speed MT - Anyone swap 6th?

Getting a little tired of the horrible gas mileage on longer trips. Has anyone swapped their 6th gear for a lower RPM gear? Not sure if it's that straight forward, but I'd love to drop some RPMs.

 

Good question! I'm interested in this as well.

 

It's definitely been done. There's threads all over about re-gearing. Just use the search bar.

 

I don't think that's called re-gearing. this would involve tranny work (id assume) re-gearing is dropping in new differential that is geared differently. swapping out a single drive gear probably wouldn't be so simple.

 

Get bigger tires

 

I would be more interested in a Granny Gear but I dont think its possible.

 

The R452's 5th gear is used on R150/151/155 to achieve a 0.69:1 5th gear. I don't know if that gear will fit RA60 or not, or if the cluster ratio is appropriate to make this change, but it might be worth some research.
