I have a chipped tooth on fifth, and need to know what other options work for a fifth gear/matching gear set, will work. If there is a fifth other than the FWD f5m33 from a DSM, that would be my reason for asking. |

I heard something about people putting EVO 3 5th gear into F5M33... Not sure about details.. Found this in 2sec search on google.. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie- ... gains.html Aldo I dont have time to read it now. Try to research  I heard is taller gear so that should be good for highways cruise. Only down side could be cost of it. |

The AWD 5th gear is supposed to be higher, giving you a lower RPM at cruise. |

So 5th gear set from what year AWD will drop in where the FWD 91 unit sits now? No mods? |

Supposed to be interchangable, just a taller gear. Put a FWD 5th in an AWD and you would never need to downshift to build boost!! |

Jacks shows FWD 92-99 and all AWD as compatible for the taller 5th. I have a 91 gear set. I may have a local option to compare with, I'll find out shortly. If I know that 91 FWD DSM transmissions will accept this taller fifth, I may have two options for sourcing gears. |

All 1g 5th gears will interchange. I ran a 5th from a 93 in my 90. Worked out great and dropped around 3-500 rpm cruise speed. |

Flying Eagle keep us posted on your finding also. I been really want to change 5th in my fwd talon for years just to help the mpg over the road. |

Old post, but I will be doing this before the SO this year. I hate buzzing around at near 4k to keep up with everyone. The reason Jack's lists 92-94 transmissions is because they are stronger. You should be able to grab the gears and parts at the end of any 1g AWD transmission and slide/nut them onto a 90-94 FWD transmission. I will really enjoy the 3-500 rpm drop. We have an AWD tranny with a blown center-diff that will be donating it's 5'th gear set to the bird. |

I need to jump on this taller 5th bandwagon. |

I had a taller 5th gear on my Mirage. I honestly didn't like it. It was a F5M33 trans with a AWD 5th gear, which is a direct bolt-in affair. It lowered the RPM's so much that the car fell of its powerband in highway cruising, and I had to give it a lot of gas to pass people and things like that. The fact that the engine was lugging out of its powerband, and the fact that I had to give it more throttle to get around things, meant that my gas mileage didn't really improve any, if at all. I honestly hardly noticed a difference from the stock KM210. The F5M33 trans I installed already had the AWD gear put in when I installed it, so I can't tell you what the normal F5M33 5th gear was like. I will admit, it is nice cruising at lower RPM's in general. It's less noisy and vibrationy, but that's about it.
