[Harvey-aw11]

Were all UK celica (140 and 190) 6 speed gearboxes?

Also thos with these, what sort of rpm are you doing in 6th at say 70mph?

All UK Gen7's are 6sp.

The 190 and 140 are different, with different gearing.

the 140 at 70mph it would be approx 2.5-3k rpm, the 190 would be 3.5-4k rpm.

I always found my 190 to be a bit tiresome on long motorway journeys because the revs were so high for normal motorway speeds... they should have added a seventh gear :D . I don't know if I imagined this either, but I used to live in Nottingham and do an 80 mile round trip every day to and from work on mostly motorways, but I'm sure I used to get more miles out of a full tank if I stuck at 80 instead of 70...strange.

Oh, so the 140 box is a better motorway cruiser??

Many thanks for the replies. Looking into a 6 speed box for my starlet, but i want to make it better for motorway speeds in top gear. the 190 top gears sounds similar ratio to my 5th gear now.
