i cant answer your question but i have a question as well, isnt that the transmission that you can top the car out in 3rd? 2nd goes to 80 or so? ive heard that somewhere? :thinking:

Wow the gearing is tall as hell. Except for first it looks like the gear in my Vette lol.

GEAR RATIOS:

First 3.461
Second 1.750
Third 1.096
Fourth 0.857
Fifth 0.710
Reverse 3.231
Final Drive Axle Ratio 3.208

TIRES:
Tire size: 185/65/R14:
Sidewall Height = (185*0.65)/25.4=4.73 in
Diameter=14+(2*4.73)=23.46 in
Circumference=3.1428*23.46=73.73 in
Rev per minute (89/60)*859 = 1274
89mph = 1274 Tire RPM

Tranny RPM = 1274*3.208 = 4086RPM

2nd Gear engine RPM = 7150 RPM

I have the HX tranny in my car! its slow though. But 2nd in mine tops out at 70 and 3rd at 100..... that about tops the car out unless you got about 5 miles of flat road... you can get 120 :)
