All you guys are just dreaming too high, 7500 rpms!! lol, you shouldn't be putting so much attention at your tranny but to your engine internals, what good is a tranny that can go that high if the engine wont tolerate it? You will also need 500 whp to benefit from 7500 rpms on an aluminum block 4 banger engine, then you'll have to worried about your sleeves taking a shit. Not to mention replacing your seals every 2 months.
Anyways, you know I'm just talking shit right? jaja |

Heres the thing, people with stock turbos do not need a built tranny. I ran a full drags set up twice a week for two years on the stock tranny. Close to 50 1.7 60 foots on it as well. Why make a tranny that is going to be a stock replacement, there are alot of people going to bigger turbos nowadays. All you need for 7500rpms is valvesprings, nothing else. There is nothing to worry about with sleeves either, Also changing the ratios will only mean about a 5 mile per hour change from 7000 to 7500. The stock tranny gear ratios suck period. If there is a guy making new gears but only doing 3 and 4 why not take advantage of this and get the ratios where they should be?

Also if he is remaking 3 and 4 is there a way he could decrease the ratio? Like getting third to end at about 100 if your revving to 7500? and then make fourth at one to one? Not sure if all that means a whole bunch more work or since he is already making new gears if it wont be to bad.
Why don't you get a 4.45 ratio gear set... sounds like that'd be more along your lines. |
the 4.45 is more of a band aid for the shitty gearing. What we would be doing is making more along the lines of the srt gearing. Also why would you like stock gearing? If your going to say because of highway pulls, if you think about it you will accelerate faster with the gearing I said. Get into fourth sooner which being 1:1 will make for a monster. We would have to talk with shep to find out the rpm drop between gears to make sure we wouldn't drop out of the turbos efficiency range to keep the pull hard and smooth. I hate getting into third at 75 and being in it all the way to 130 mph lol. Through a 26 inch tire on it Nd it's now like 140, which is gay lol.

Our gearing has always worked out really well for me. 4th gear is already a monster for me.
You have to remember... I have a 4.05 final, so mine aren't quite as long as yours. |

Exactly why I have wondered why more Cobalt SS/TC owners haven't swapped out there 3.82 final drive trans for the HHR SS 4.05 final drive trans.

And I am not trying to persuade anyone either, I truely believe this would make for a better overall car.

John Powell has stated that the case on the lnf is stronger than the lsj. That is one reason, I wouldn't mind the 4.05 as long as the diff is LSD and is as strong as the lnf one. The lnf diff is quafe or how ever it's spelled. Bit I deffinitly don't want the 4.45.
^^^^I'm really surprised this option hasn't been explored by Cobalt SS/TC owners already. |

The HHR SS uses the LNF case with a 4.05 final drive. I have quaife (or however you spell it) LSD also :twothumbs

See I didn't know that. Good info. What does thrid do at 7000rpms?
My 4th gear pulls almost as hard as my 3rd gear. Next time i take the HHR SS out I'll let you know, I actually did WOT 2-4 gear pulls today shifting at 7k for a datalog for Vince to fine tune the E35 blend in, but I didn t look at MPH. I just watched the redline between shifts. |

I would imagine the stock size. But that is a 4.05 ratio which looks like a nice option really.
