Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

whoa that M2A4 is BUNK! I've been quoting that as 4th gen ratios! whoops!

Re: Gear ratios: (satan_srv)
 

thanx for the info 2.6...

great thread, thanks. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

Re: Gear ratios: (-743-)
 

Acually the M2A4 has a really interesting 3rd gear. This may allow you to stay in the power band longer at the end of the track...

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

Yea, the M2B4 1st 2nd 4th 5th with a M2A4 3rd gear might work out well for the track. How hard is it, or is it even possible, to just change one gear? Scott, I'll drive down to Tucson and give you a free shifter if you can do it for me https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

Re: Gear ratios: (4bidden)
 

I can do it for you. The gears need to be changed in pairs, meaning the input shaft gear and the counter shaft gear. I have heard of people just changing one of the gears, the car will run, but the tranny will make noise.

Free shifter...Hell yeah! Just say when...

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

Explain making noise....?

Re: Gear ratios: (4bidden)
 

Like a whinning noise due to a mismatch with the angle (cut) of the gears.

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

Ah, well crap. Thats no good. Maybe I should just drive it down to you in Tucson so you can help me figure out whats going on with it. Still have a horrible hesitation and it is killing my 1/4 times. All I can manage now is 14.5@94mph.

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

hey my euro-r tranny makes a funny noise too, when i slow down it sounds like its whinding down. is that the same problem? or something else?

Re: Gear ratios: (F20bcivic)
 

I believe the Euro R trannies have "straighter cut" gears. This can cause whining as well. This is most likely the case with deceleration. I would not see it as a problem. The whinning of improper gears is much different.

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

damnit..i wanna know what gear ratios my tranny has...GRRR no one can find it..the Code is P2T4, ive even got pics of it cuz people think im reading it wrong??...but i still havent found it, maybe you can find it?..peace

Re: Gear ratios: (PreludeRacer023)
 

Hey man.... I got that oil pan too.... J/K... I know that must suck in a way, but be god like in a way from your times with what you got on it... One day you will find out, one day...

Re: Gear ratios: (JTCdudeman)
 

I have heard of another "p" series tranny was asked about before, and I believe it is from a "Hong Kong" Market car.

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

id like to find out, when i got my motor, the timing cover had 4 diff languages on it, english, french, and 2 others...so i figured it was from a european car, the tranny was with it...thanks..peace

Re: Gear ratios: (PreludeRacer023)
 

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

The JDM has a good 5th gear ratio of 0.787.. ideal for hwy driving.
I don't know what they were thinking with a 0.870 for the H22a (US/CAN).

Why would they do that??

Re: Gear ratios: (MechEng)
 

not too hijack the thread...but. I found a useful tool to calculate your gear ratios. (if you change your FD, or any other gears, this will give you a good idea of what rpm you be @ at x speed etc.)

http://www.reverendsgarage.net/index...5d663e55f7bfe1
I found this tool in the s2k forum...all credit goes to Schatten https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Here is what I came up w/for my 97 SH w/the prodrive FD (which is a ratio of 4.7143.)

Total gearing in first gear: 15.4864755
Maximum speed in first gear: 32.7 mph

Total gearing in second gear:9.2211708
Maximum speed in second gear: 54.9 mph

Total gearing in third gear: 6.3360192
Maximum speed in third gear: 79.8 mph

Total gearing in fourth gear:4.8745862
Maximum speed in fourth gear: 103.8 mph

Total gearing in fifth gear:3.8280116
Maximum speed in fifth gear:132.2 mph

it gives you a nifty graph too!
http://www.reverendsgarage.net/techn...reDeformation=
looks very similar to 4th gen speeds, doesn't it?

here is the stock SH graph for comparison.

Here is a lil comparison for you 4th gen owners (VTEC)

Here is the 4th gen w/the Prodrive FD.

Holy acceleration Batman!! no topend though http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif

Re: Gear ratios: (dsludefosho)
 

That is some really cool info. Thanks! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

Re: Gear ratios: (2point6)
 

do yo know of any Auto tranny info?

All I know is my H23 Auto Tranny out of my 92 has FD of 4.43..... gear ratios?

And have you ever seen any info on the JDM H22 Auto Tranny's.... It's out of a 92 as well...

Re: Gear ratios:
 

here is what i want to know... will my 4th gen be faster with a pro-drive 4.7 fd? with 22"slicks? 23? 23.5? id hate to waste well over 1200 dollars + labor on that gear and have no gains...

Re: Gear ratios: (ALTERED4)
 

yes...it would be faster..

Is it worth $1200 Im not sure.. Go to the site I provided and it will produce a graph that will give you an idea of how much your acceleration will improve. (I can tell you your car will top out @ about 120)

Re: Gear ratios: (dsludefosho)
 

Quicker... not faster.
