6 speed features toyota developed the new c60 six-speed manual transmission to increase driving enjoyment and provide a gear for every corner. the toyota c60 manual transmission has close ratios from first to fifth gears, and a tall sixth gear for increased fuel economy and reduced noise on the highway. all forward gears in the c60 transmission are constant mesh, which use an inertia lock key type synchromesh mechanism. particular attention has been paid to shift quality, with a crisp, short-throw lever and positive shift feel. the c60 transmission has double-cone synchromesh on the first-second change, to improve shift quality and gearbox durability. shift feel has been further improved by adopting teflon bushings on the support portion of the shift and selector shaft, a mass damper on the shift and selector shaft, and a rolling-type lock ball assembly. the shift pattern has fifth and sixth gears on the same longitudinal plane. reverse gear is forward and away from the driver. a spring-loaded mis-shift function has been adopted to prevent mis-shifting into reverse gear when selecting either first or second gear from neutral. in addition, the new celica has a reverse shift warning buzzer, which sounds when the manual shift lever is shifted into reverse. the toyota c60 transmission has ratios of: first, 3.166; second, 2.050; third, 1.481; fourth, 1.166; fifth, 0.916; sixth, 0.725 and reverse, 3.250. it is matched to a final drive ratio of 4.529:1. the clutch has a diaphragm turnover mechanism for crisper clutch action. clutch plate thickness has been increased by 11 percent compared with superseded celica, to increase durability. the new 212mm diameter clutch has 199cm2 of facing area. data taken from the 2000 toyota celica press kit. |
