Custom 01E gear ratios

[Error404]

AH OK I thought you were going to have bespoke parts made! If you can just harvest parts from other boxes then go for it
I think from your charts above option 2 looks the best

It may be a waste to put in the shorter 3 and 4. The 2nd option is just with stock 3-6 gears. If you have enough power then you may need to change to 5th on 1/4 mile with short 4th gear, so it's maybe not optimal. On track it could be nice though.

Hi Thuppu,

how did you go with this?
What ratios did you end up going with for 1-2?

Hi Thuppu,

We ordered two kits with 2.80 1st and 1.82 2nd. Had quite many issues to resolve when fitted the first kit, you can find more info of the issues in my UrS project thread. But anyway first box is now assembled and may be fitted in a working car today. Soon we see how it goes

Ok, the trans is in the test car and seems to work fine. Very different swich from 1st to 2nd, goes in direct with a clunck sound. No problem with putting in the 1st and start to drive, even that the 1st is quite long, the feel is almost identical to the stock ratio. But as the rpm's now drop less in the changes from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd the car feel a lot faster. I could guess 1/4 mile time will increase nicely.

The whine sound is loud, but as it is only the first two gears, it's no problem on street either. When car is standing still on idle with the gear in neutral the box will keep a rattling sound, when the cluch is pressed down it stops. Propably the shift collar is keeping the sound as it has a some play between the collar and inner ring.
