I have a 2000 es V6 and noticed that alot of posts here complain about the loss of hp's between crank to wheels. I was wondering if there is a site or if it is ever possible to change the gears/ ratio for our/ my transmission?
no.... the ratios are monitored as part of the normal function of your PCM.
if you could get different ratios (an expensive proposition), you would also need total recalibration of the PCM, which would undoubtedly be illegal unless it was okay'ed by the federal government.
okay, then is there a better transmssion that can fit our cars?
Yeah,
A 5 speed auto off a JDM Pajero (F5A51 - ours is an F4A51) - Good luck finding one. It would be awesome though. I always feel like the V6 is missing a 5th gear. The thing with our trannys is that it is all electronically controlled in terms of pressure, shift points etc.. The type of work that led to the RIPP black box could lead to tranny control reprogramming or chipping. All indications are that our trannys are actually very good

Yeah i came to that same conclusion that our tranny's are really good.. I remember in an old post that a company was building a turbo for the A/T and actually blew the tranny at about 8psi, but im thinking it could be from bad R&D of the turbo.. I have talked to several 3g guys and 8g guys who have the Ripp Kit and there saying that at they run it at 6psi and still no problems. Ross has said himself he boosted up to 10psi on a stock 8g tranny and it didnt drop.. Im thinking that our tranny's will hold up to or about 10psi.. But i still would upgrade the tranny though.. good thing mine already has the TC and its Bulletproofed..

It's probably really tough but horridly inefficient.

Yeah, the lack of balls is the thing. I still would like to try the reprogramming of the tranny control. There'd bea huge market here for a proven product - probably 15-20 hp to the wheels if done right.
