it's a 7 speed manual with 2 reverse gearsi paid 47k for my 05 g35 and it's got a weird trannyis this an option?

Post by **05g35** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 5:56 pm

oh and someone told me it might be because i have a 5 speed trans, an auxiliary trans, then a transfer case and i could get my ratio to like 78:1 if i wanted to

what are they talking about?

Actually, in 1974 I think, Earl Tarks invented a second reverse gear.

He wasn't very well known, but locally people knew him as the reversed goose.He got that name because the goose was the national symbol for their county. And reverse because he custom built his infinity transmission with 2 reverse gears. He could get up to around 55 mph max IN REVERSE. He went to the local track every Friday to give a show, thus making him locally famous. The reverse goose legend has never died... to this day people still replicate his transmission.

The person you bought it from must have added a 7th gear as well... since yours has one. It is a rare car if the factory built it like that, only 100 of those were built.

How much did you buy it for?

Nevermind, you paid 47k for it. I see...

Well since only 100 7speeds were factory made, my guess is your's is custome built alonge with the 2 reverse gears.

can you tell me more about Earl Harks?

Post by **uberOT** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:05 pm

Well in 1973 when he created the original 2 reverse gears I believe he was 64 years old.He grew up around cars and mechanics. Both his dad and brother were mechanics, and his first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang. He loved American cars, and so did his family. They believed American built cars were the BEST. Which is true, they are more reliable, faster, better, etc. But back to the subject. Not much is known about him but from what information we have he went to a local college (name not given) to be a mechanic and follow in his families foot steps.

Wow that's neatWho else can you tell me about, you tell good stories!

Post by **uberOT** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:09 pm

Lets get back to your car. Where did you buy it from/where are you located now?

Post by **05g35** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:14 pm

It was imported from the US where i was born (OC) and i currently live in Austria(158 Blakh Calle 29935 Appt. #17) on a military baseI plan on keeping the car since it's so rare but what are some simple upgrades i can do to it to make it faster?

Post by **uberOT** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:20 pm

Well you could go with simple bolt ons - which are parts that only require 5-10 bolts and you're good to go.

Stillen superchargersCold air intakeHeadersCamsExhaust catback/axlebackGiant muffler tips that make you sound like a weed eaterStickersAnything with Type-S on it

All the things I just listed add ATLEAST 5 rwhp. With those your G may actually pass 300hp! An incredible thing for an import.

Want in one hand... poop in the other. Tell me which one fills up first.

Supermods don't have access to that. Only admins.
