Looks like the 6 speed has a larger final drive, which combined with the smaller 6th makes a larger ratio than the 5 speed in 5th. So what about taking a C160 and using the final drive gear from the C50? That should achieve much lower RPMs on the highway, but maybe not enough torque in 1st.
On the other hand, Toyota's stock gearing is designed to pair with the stock aerodynamics. With reduced drag, maybe it makes sense to just swap the 5th gear for a .725. |
