Default Gear ratios for the 92-93 es300

Does anybody have the gear ratios for the early es300's.

Well i have the final drive ratios' but can't find the gears.

Also what speed is the engine turning at 60 mph on you guy's cars?

Cool

and they did change in the es/camry/solara, from the e153 that was matched up with the 3vz, and the ones that were matched up with the 1mz (97+)- they added more synchros for better shifts
No they didn't. They added synchro's between the '91 E152 and the '93 E153. Not the later E351 transmissions which have a hair different gearing that match the other E53 series transmissions in the MR2's.


To quote myself elsewhere:

These are not negotiable!!! They are straight from the factory service manuals, and the factory sales brochures. If you think this information is wrong. That's because you don't know which damned transmission is which so stuff it, I don't want to hear it LoL!
(Why people argue when they don't know what they're talking about I'll never know!?)


"In the beginning for the v6's" <cough 1987 cough>, there was the 2vz-fe. And the 2vz-fe gave forth the E52 M/T, and the E52 was good LoL!:
1st 3.230
2nd 2.045
3rd 1.333
4th 0.972
5th 0.82
R 3.583
Final Drive 3.933

Then came the 3vz-fe for 1992 and the gen3 camry. Mated to a newer, I guess stronger??? E53(E153)
E53
1st 3.583
2nd 2.045
3rd 1.333
4th 1.028
5th 0.820
R 3.583
Final Drive 3.933
The E53 (E153) Recieved an extra third gear synchro in 1993. It was a rare option. For example! Of the 78,564 ES 300's sold in the US during 1992-1993 ES 300, there were only 2,194 sold with the M/T option! That's less than 2.77% of them sold~!?

Then came the re-introduction of the E53 (E153) in the 1997 Camry/ES
E53 '97-'01:
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.545
Final Drive 3.933

THEN! Then E53 series disappeared, and reappeared! Re-designed to work with the 2az-fe, NOT THE v6's. To which is was then re-mated to the v6's
2002-2006 v6 transmission = E351:
1st 3.538
2nd 2.045
3rd 1.333
4th 0.972
5th 0.731
R 3.583
Final Drive 3.944

But don't forget! Before the E52 v6, there was the E51 i4 mated to the 4a-gze!!!!
E51:
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.583
Final Drive 4.285

The E51 begot the E153 3s-gte transmission!!!
E153
1st 3.230
2nd 1.913
3rd 1.258
4th 0.918
5th 0.731
R 3.545
Final Drive 4.285


So that's every non S## block transmission that should mate to a v6. Now the S blocks are a whoooole different story, cause they used those little things in abot everything LoL!

You shoulda googled it...

ariyanna yes i bought that car! I never got it to start. I haven't really tried though. It probably just needs some new gas,fluids and sparks maybe and wires too. Its in incredible condition. Was left outside though so the bumpers have a bit of clearcoat peel. Even has the original cracking tires. I couldn't pass up an almost new super rare 5 speed es300 for that price (1k). Purple is weird , has a Dark taupe interior too which is like a brownish purple color.

I don't have a digital camera now but will be getting one soon. My current camera has a special gateway only battery that i cannont find to save my life.

Phoenix! how did you find that. I googled es300 gear ratios forever. Couldnt find a thing.

well i just calculated those figures and the 5 speed manual es300 is doing 2400rpm at 60mph in OD and doing 3000 at 70 mph. If i remember correctly that almost exactly the same revs as the 96 civic 5spd i used to drive. These cars must be pretty quick then.
