Hi Scott when I sent a message yesterday to transaxle engineering, minutes later I received a message saying there was no mailbox... oh well. I'll gonna have to call next monday I guess. I am just not knowledgeable enough in the tranny department to understand all these gearing numbers. If someone can say that one of those gearings can obtain less than 3000RPM at 100km/h that would really great! And yes I do expect to pay in the 2k to 3k range to have what I want (porsche auto tranny still tempting).
