Hmmm...I don't have a clue...the only 3-speed tranny I've ever seen was on a very old 1:8 racer.

Schumacher use a 3 speed tranny on some of their cars. I doubt if it would be worth the effort (even if it could be done) to fit it.

I wouldn't call it bulky as it hardly adds any wieght but its not worth putting one on a small block car.

WHY NOT....I WOULD THINK OF IT AS TRIAL AND ERROR....LETS SAY MY .15 CV-R HAS JUST THE RIGHT RPM WITH A TWO SPEED TRANNY, NOW IF I WAS TO RAISE THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR BY A TOOTH OR TWO THE TROW IN THE THIRD BUT LOWER IT OR EXTREME TOP SPEED BUT WITH RISK BLOWING THE MOTOR AT FULL-THROTTLE....


WELL I DON'T KNOW THATS WHY IM HERE ASKING AROUND..IF ANY ONE WOULD LIKE TO HELP FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK I WOULD MUCH GRATEFUL

There's no possibility to blow the engine cause of transmiton...I don't think there's any 3speed transmition system out there that if modified could suit your car...you'll have to get a 2speed tranny and modify it yourself adding a 3rd gear. Also a 3rd gear should be added to the bell and that's the hardest part.

I wouldn't bother at all, that engine would probably just bog down in 3rd gear rendering it useless anyway.

Put the 3rd gear to engage at very high rpm and get a nitro boost...
