didn't think it would happen again but I bought myself another mazda project. it's a 1990 mazda cab plus se-5 which I have a lot of plans for but the mechanical side of things will be coming first. just a preview of the truck and I'll be adding more on the truck as I go along
2004 scion XB 5th gear swap
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.2 года назад
this video is an overview on how to do the 5th gear swap using an 03 corolla 5th gear Into first gen scion XB manual transmissions to lower your freeway engine rpms by about 500 rpm
I would have never guessed it was this easy to swap a 5th gear out of a manual trans LOL
Thank you. We have 1gen xBs. Just bought an ‘05 with manual. Didn’t realize that 5th gear wasn’t OD. So was bummed at 4K RPM @ 60 MPH which you know absolutely sucks. Looked for a tutorial all day and finally swerved into yours. You’re a good instructor. I’m gonna do this.
@Tubester9 if you're at 4k @ 60 in 5th it sounds like you may have another issue or someone has put a different final drive in that car. The factory 5spd should be 4k @ 80
The part you refer to as the "lever" needs the long side of the adjuster on the back to hold that lever in place otherwise it will not lock on the adjuster wheel teeth. Hope that adds to your already good video.
Is this the 0.725 5th gear set?
@jaggass not sure the ratio, this is the 05 corolla 5th gear, lowers cruising rpm by 500
Does thiz work on automatic??
@@NothingToProveTM no,this only applies to the 5spd manual
@@magifab_503 Thanks for the fast reply! I thought i was getting lucky lol.
@NothingToProveTM I think the only way to lower cruising rpm with an automatic is to change the final drive ratio which is way more involved
Very informative! Thanks. Wish me luck 😂
Good luck!
Awsome job with the breaks, I liked how you showed everything step by step. It was actually understandable. Keep up the good work 😊
Why
It was in respect/memory to a recently deceased friend
Wow what a great idea. I have been listening to the 4K rpm, freeway wail, for 19 years, so far.
Great video. Zip tie on the puller claws is a great tip
Absolutely a great video. You have a new subscriber
Hello, If you are in the Los Angeles area, would you do this for a customer?
If I were in the area I would but I'm up in oregon
Thanks for the response
Hey man thanks for the video. Very knowledgeable. I’m about to do this job next tuesday for my buddy. When you are using that 36mm socket to push on the gear, what kinda bolt are you using to thread into shaft? So I know what to get at hardware store. Also at 15:39, that’s called a bearing knife?
I believe the bolt was an 8mmx1.5 not sure how long it was. And yeah at least around here's its called a bearing knife, can also be called a bearing separator
Hey man. So I damaged a tooth on the first gear you take off with the puller. Can you please help me find a new one? I don’t know what that gear is called. Other than that it’s going well. Got the other gears off smoothly & reinstalled. The gear you torque to 87ftlbs, how do you torque that down w/o spinning the gears?
@TimmyRiversMusic I'll do some looking and see if I can find a part number. More than likely only able to get it from the dealership
@magifab_503 hey are you sure its a m8 1.5 bolt? Having a hard time finding it.
Hey. on the bolt to press on the with the synchronizer, you said it 8mm 1.5 bolt but im having trouble finding it. Its not a 8mm 1.25?@magifab_503
Do video update for scion xb 5th gear driving from 0 to 80 please
Do you want hard acceleration or regular?
@@magifab_503 bro"tanks for the replay!..from 0 to 60 or 70 regular and harb acceleration...will be great 👍 Tanks again
@solrac7918 I don't own the car anymore but I can still use it whenever. So it might be a little bit but I'll get one for you
You're better with one hand than most guys using two! Thanks for the vid!
this for manual or automatic tranny?
Manual transmission
Nice swap! Now, the question is. What the rpm @60, @70 and @80mph?
About 500 rpm less than typical across the board
Where do yo get these gears?
I got mine on rockauto.com for a 2004 Toyota corolla 5spd
@@magifab_503 Those are the gears being used from a Corolla?
@Bart Mormino yes, the scion xb/xa and corolla used the same basic transmission so there are some parts that interchange
But what’s the price tag for blazda
Depends on how many of the parts you want with it now. The rx7 rearend and front suspension kit won't be included anymore
What were your mpg gains on freeway?
Since I changed tire size at the same time and sold it a few weeks later I don't have an accurate answer to that question. I didn't do much freeway driving with it as it was. Just didn't like the high rpm when I did use the freeway
Does this swap change the ratio on 5th Gear or the whole transmission
It only changes the 5th gear ratio
I have a rs1 with 3rd gone . I swapped the trans out done the 5th gear swap same one as you described and the car feels like riding with the e brake pulled just a bit
@thomas screws yeah, it's definitely got more of a load in 5th gear after the swap but didn't have any effect on the rest of the gears or behavior when I was done
You did an awsome job on the blazer babe! It turned out so good!
Its gorgeous im a old Mazda guy my self
I plan on doing this soon.will this give better fuel economy at highway speeds since lower rpms?
It should increase highway mileage. I changed tire sizes at the same times so my results aren't accurate for everyone but I did have an increase in mileage either way
Greetings, Thanks for sharing this video, very informative. I have a 2006 xB with some clutch/transmission problems . May I contact you via private message to seek your advice?
I'm not aware of any ability to private message on RUclips 🤔
Very nice! Thank you for doing this. Iv'e wanted to do this in future.
Damn good video, the video and audio quality is on point!
Great video, wish it was for a 2nd Gen. Do you know if the procedure is similar? I wish I had access to a lift!
I'm not sure which transmission the 2nd gen uses so I'm not sure whats available for them or able to be done
Excellent video! You are very knowledgeable and have great teaching skills! Thank you
Great video and thanks for the help.
I could definitely see you doing more videos. Definitely good information.
Awsome video 🙂 very informative
