How to get the BEST performance out of your transmission. Transmission Ratio Swap On BMW & Porsche

A car’s gearing is all about compromise. The gearing in your BMW or Porsche is all about compromise. Shorter gears give you better acceleration, where taller gears give you better fuel economy and top speed. Obviously, this is a fast and effective way to get more speed or acceleration out of your vehicle.

This is accomplished by changing the ratios to let the transmission know how long to stay in each gear. This issue is this is a TRICKY business. If not done correctly, and accurately, things go bad quickly.

This is why we have invested in the proper tools and software to give you the exact ratio’s your looking for every time.

Not to mention decades of tuning BMWs, Porsches and nearly every exotic car you can think of.

Transmission Service & Exchange

Every transmission needs to be kept cool and lubricated, which is done with transmission fluid just like oil in your engine or brake fluid, it can get debris, dirt even metal shavings from your transmission if left to long without service.

Every vehicle is different but they all do need a transmission service, typically between 50K and 100K miles.

Every time we do a transmission fluid exchange we will look at the old fluid to see if there are any metal shavings or other tel-tale signs something is wrong to keep your transmission in peak shape.
