Trans with the KLZE

[lone_night_fox]

With the KLZE do I need to get the Trans with it... Because I would like to keep the stock Trans... mainly because I love the short gear ratios.

Yes, you can keep the tranny however first gear becomes nearly useless as it is almost impossible to "lock-up" the tires in first gear. The car has enough torque to take off in second no prob.

[lone_night_fox]

what do ya mean lock up?

not familiar with that term...

[babybluemx3]

what he means is that you won't be able to 'grip' on the first gear..the only thing you'll do is burn rubbers

[lone_night_fox]

well what's your 0-60 with the MX-6 Trans?

[babybluemx3]

I've got the mx3 tranny...and I don't knw my time yet...didn't got a chanmce to put it on the track yet

[MXmadman]

i thought they both had the same ratio's...except for the final?

[babybluemx3]

you're right...we didn't say the opposite

[MXmadman]

i know, but i mean, how would the mx-6 tranny differ in first gear then if they're the same?

or am i missing something

[babybluemx3]

like you said..It won't make a difference if you have a mx6 or a mx3 tranny on a 1/4 mile since you won't use 5th gear

[MXmadman]

even on the 130hp stock mx-3 you burn through 1st pretty quick. so what's the best thing you can do to fight it w/the 200hp ze?

[babybluemx3]

good tires and not high rev starts....drop the clutch at around 3k

[lone_night_fox]

really with the Stock 130hp V6 I light the tires up when I dump the clutch at 3K, and burnout through 1st and 2nd... ofcourse this might be because of my Crapy Contental tires (no traction in the rain...)

[bmwm3guy]

poor clutch

[lone_night_fox]

it's the stock one
