Ex tranny with lx/dx 5th gear??
Is it possible to do? I love the short gears of my ex tranny but it sucks on the highway. I don't really know jack about transmissions YET so could I put 5th out of a dx/lx or even longer geared cx on an ex tranny? Obviously it's a manual tranny, in a 98 sedan with a y7. Thanks!

The gearing is correct for the highway. If you want better mpg slow down to 65 mph or lower and don't accelerate quickly when you don't need to.

I am not sure on the "D" series stuff... I just don't work on enough of those POS's. Ask Aquafina. ;)

No, not when I'm running 3000+ rpm at 65. The question still stands? Really I could car less about fuel economy, I just want a longer 5th gear.
also, EX (Z6/Y8) has the same 5th gear as the DX/LX (Y7) but a different 2,3 and final. so swapping 5th would have no effect. trans calc. tool give this a shot if you want to play around with ratios and tire sizing until you get the combo you're looking for. |
