Suggestion · Original poster
Has anyone tried changing the final drive ratio from 3.44 to 3.68 or higher?

Suggestion
It would've been nice to be at to use the 3.67 ring & pinion from the Tip on a 6-speed tranny.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone tried changing the final drive ratio from 3.44 to 3.68 or higher? Is the entire differential from the 99 Tip interchangeable with the 99 6-speed?
Two 100% completetly different transmisions. No parts can be swapped between a tip and a 6 sp manual.
there may be different gear sets available for each trans but may cost $15-25k for rebuilds.
That's a shame. It would've been nice to be at to use the 3.67 ring & pinion from the Tip on a 6-speed tranny.
Regardless, I appreciate the help info, De Jeeper. Thanks! 🍻
Thanks, TexSquirrel. I'm aware of the GBox option but I'm always looking to upgrade yet not spend more than I need to. Appreciate the tip though! 🍻
Personal preference. Serious answer.
Factory 3.44 = 185mph@7200rpm theoretical
3.77 or 4.00 = Faster acceleration, lower top speed. 169mph/159mph@7200rpm theoretical
3.00 = slower acceleration, higher top speed. (I'm considering this for my 996.2 for the Texas Mile)
With enough HP to overcome drag, this choice theoretically gets you 212mph (341km/h) @ 7200rpm.
I don't believe the stock M96.03 would have enough HP to hit 212mph, much less in 5200 feet.(1609 meters)
In "just" 5200 feet you're lucky to hit 150mph.
If I eventually take my 996.2 with the FSI Track Performer Stage 2 4.0L engine to the Texas Mile
and
I run out of gearing, then I'll consider building a second transaxle with the 3.00 ring and pinion for a subsequent event.
I'll stick with the factory 3.44 ring and pinion for street/track/autoX.
Ah, makes sense. The Albins route is definitely
NOT
cheap!
