Transmission. What does it mean to you? To me it means the key to my torque and speed. For some its a key to victory to others they hate it and even for some cant even tune one. This is where i come to save the day ;).

The invention: MUSCLE TRANSMISSION ( aka MTM)

The theory of gearing when you are drifting is quite simple

It goes: 1st gear straighten put -> Low gears push into corner -> High gears fly out of corners

Now the concept of muscle transmission is that short gearing and low speed gives you more safety and torque out of lower gears and let you move in all gears with most or to full power with a high rpm turbo at any speed.

Also gives you much harder drift car launching and pulling power.

Also remember that this is a low speed trans and should only be for sections and drifting not at all for drift racing.

This concept lets you utilize the maximum torque from a high rpm turbo with out having to down grade to a mid range or low range turbo.

The way it works: Follow Directions
(Note this is not an easy transmission and its extremely quick)

1. Reset Default Transmission

2 . Set "Top Speed" Corresponding to HP
0-140 Hp - Top Speed 99
141-650 Hp - Top Speed 130
651-800 Hp - Top Speed 143
801-XXXX Hp - Top Speed 150-170

3. Take all drive gears and put them all to the right.

4. Once all gears are shortened the top speed at the top graph should be altered by moving the the final gear to the right and rarely to the left to correspond to this:
0-140 Hp - Top Speed 82mph
141-650 Hp - Top Speed 105-127mph
651-800 Hp - Top Speed 130mph
801-XXXX Hp - Top Speed 140-150mph

5. Enough reading go DRIFT!?!?!?

So what exactly are you doing? Are you giving assistance to people who need help tuning their transmission for drifting?
 
Well you can see it like that but what im premiering is a new style of tuning your transmission....
 
So utilizing maximum torque without downgrading to a mid range turbo or a low range turbo.. Most of the time, a mid range turbo produces a lot more torque anyway so I dont see much of the point? From what I understand, you're trying to tune the gears to use the most of a high rpm turbo when in reality, wouldnt you want to tune the gears to make the most of a mid rpm turbo due to the higher amounts of torque and less lag?
 
Short gearing actually is not benefical because n a higher hp car it creates more wheelspin than is necessary. Grip is required in drifting.
 
not so true when I drift my ford GT I've got alot of wheel spin but i'm running tall gears instead of short ones but with a wing im keeping my rear tires stuck to the track hence the downforce
 
Shorter gearing is not beneficial. Ence why most people tune to only use 3rd an 4th. I have use short gearing before and the only benefit was there was no gear lag on upshifts. Its down help driving into or out of turns.
 
Well if your trying to be a grip drifter you can just leave now cause if your not on comfort hard thats sad and not really gonna tune for a mid range because the purpose of this is for everyone who wants maximum amount of power out of the car with the high rpm and if u used this tune on a mid range ited be to much spin so honestly you make a crappy argument

Pretty sure everyone here drifts comfort hards.

Max Horsepower yet you're tuning for max torque usage? I know most people would prefer to run no turbo as there's no lag and the power delivery is smoother, but where a turbo is used, most run a mid-range as there is a lot more torque and less lag than a high-range turbo. A lot of the time, a whole 20hp isnt going to make a difference anyway so why not opt for the mid-range? You're logic is flawed and shortening the gears to utilise the torque is just going to make the wheelspin worse, thus making the car less controllable. Tell me, what diff setting do you run on your drift cars?
 
Why what happened? And the transmission gives you huge control through corners and when your drifting on it you should only top out in straight aways but you should usually pull through low end so they wont pass you at the end of the straight unless they are using a much faster car
 
I use an LSD setting of 60/60/20 and the purpose of the gear shortening is to eliminate lag as well why don't you try the concept of MT before you judge its usefulness
 
Just gave this a shot.. Sitting in 6th on the limiter with no grip is something I tend to avoid doing..

Huge control? Barely...
 
Lmfao your just not good enough then you boast like you know so much but cant even control your car that trans is not even hard to use and everyone i tell to try it when im playing online give it positive review and if you want me to show you how to use it hmu

:nervous: Oh, I'm scared... I dont know how to control my car (just ask JR up there how much I cant control my car)!! Actually really wish this thread was kept in the Drift Forum.. Would have been utterly hilarious seeing you try and tell all those people they dont know how to control their car...

Annnnnnd no. I will not hit you up.
 
Eh…wut. Honestly, I'm no drifter, but even before that…I've not got half a clue as to what the OP is telling me to do…

Quick idea, take it or leave it, post up an actual transmission setting you use on your car, any car, gear ratios, final gear and all, so that we can have some visual reference of what you mean by looking at the gear graph.

:SARCASM:True, you can't control your car at all:SARCASM: :lol:

@EuroTuned: Having a tranny tuning style like that for all drift cars doesn't work. Different cars require different tuning and tuning techniques. By the looks you just end up with a car smashing through the gears and not getting optimum power down.
 
Why dont you just try the concept and reply to this thread i dont know why people gotta hate on a good idea -_-
 
hahahahaha... they are hating on it because its not a good idea, i am pretty sure
 
I don't know anithing about drift and if this gears setting are good or bad for it.
But, i've made a test and this method can be very usefull ,because easy to set, for low power cars like 350pp or 400pp, that need to do a good grid start and reach a certain speed on a given track.

For this test i take a SCION stock, 0km, no oil change, with only a custom transmission on it for a part of the test.

1- stock transmission

2- stock custom transmission with top speed upper right 234 kmh=145 mph

3- EURO TUNED method with reset // top speed (down) setted to "141-650 Hp - Top Speed 130mph=210 kmh" //All the ratios full right // final gear to 3.520 to bring the top speed upper right to 234 kmh=145 mph.

4-opposit tranny trick: Final gear full left // top speed full right // spread the gears 1st mini - 6th maxi - rest is spreaded between. // final gear 4.200 to reach top speed upper right 234 kmh=145 mph.

This are the results, they speaks by themself. Yes this EURO TUNED method work, at least for this kind of low power cars that have to perform a good grid start and also to reach a given top speed.

So for me it's approved ,not because it's the only way to get this result but because it's an easy way to do it.

👍👍:)

What do you want my good dr_friend , go play with your toys. My Scion don't have any tune yet, i've just put a custom transmission for the test.

Hey I thought to help you out here with some constructive feedback ! and possible insight into why some people don&#8217;t like the outcome of you invention..

Its obvious the setups in GT5 are seriously flawed when compared to RL so no comment on your outputs and the predicted outcome in comparison to the real world physics.. This is the first divide in the love and hate relationship the community has got here with accepting your philosophy in designing gear ratio's for drift in GT5.

That brings me nicely onto the main issue here with your whole concept.. There is much divide in the community of drift in regards to Power sliding and ragging a car sideways round a track, OR Section drifting for elegance and grace. Your tunes are much for the control aspect and gearing is NOT really any good for most open lobby&#8217;s that prefer power sliding and up the pace driving, Sorry lol Drifting ;):

I&#8217;ve not posted here for some time, the reasons for that may or not rear its head here but I do hope not to open a bag of worms and get your awesome Post locked. I hold no sword. I just speak my mind in balance with my own experience.

This is an awesome principle for people to get consistent G/box &#8216;Dial-ins&#8217; that are aid benchmarks for you to work to.. I love your post and think that in combination with your Chassis settings work really well.

We tested this out a fair bit and concluded its great for serious Drifters who are in tune with what works and is a fresh approach to helping people out who don&#8217;t know any better...

Fantastic mate and keep up the good work.
