yup, exactly like that.

The crankshaft connects to the input shaft of the transmission. That shaft is spun at engine rpm (when the clutch is out). Gears on that shaft spin gears on the countershaft. Which sets the countershaft to a certain RPM, depending on what gear you're in. Then, connected to the countershaft, is the final drive. It spins a gear which is connected to the differential, which spins the axles.

In RWD cars, there is no final drive or differential inside the transmission, just the input shaft and the countershaft (or as they call it the "output shaft"), the driveshaft then goes back to the differential housing, and inside there is a ring and pinion gear setup, which is the final drive, and that turns the differential, which spins the rear axles.

Once we get the exact number of "definites", we will start taking deposits which is 50%.

Lead time for production is approx. 4 weeks

We will be keeping some in stock, but will be very limited quantity, so if you are on the "maybe" list and you are genuinely interested, you better be quick

Realistically you will have to not be bothered by revving around town.

With a .812 5th gear ratio and OEM 205/50/15 tire you'll cruise
70 mph @ 4300
80 mph @ 4900

With a .870 5th gear ratio and OEM 205/50/15 tire you'll cruise at
70 mph @ 4600
80 mph @ 5300

great for getting access to your power band but a PITA if you commute a ways.

Exactly, highway driving is one thing, but around town, you don't feel any bad effects from the FD.

I've been driving the 4.71 for a while now.....

isn't oem tire size 205/55/15?

and the purpose of this when he started was to be able to run a bigger tire on the track and not loose acceleration

i believe the goal was a 16x8 with 245/45/16

wait i'm confused.....i realize they will not work with the atts tranny.....what is the difference for the lsd trannies?

is it not interchangeable with other h/f trannies? i was hoping to use it in a U2Q7 from the ATR if i can find one

sorry to post twice and i don't want to get off topic but i have a question about the M2A4 and the M2F4 while we are close to the subject

M2A4 - 3.307 - 1.950 - 1.360 - 1.034 - 0.787 - 4.266
M2F4 - 3.307 - 1.950 - 1.360 - 1.071 - 0.870 - 4.266

maybe i have some bad info......but why would you take the jdm m2a4 over the usdm m2f4?

High number final drives are for NA setups where gearing plays a great roll in gaining acceleration. For a boosted setup a short geared tranny would blow. You would be shifting every second and hardly ever stay in the power band. thats if you could even get traction, which you wouldn't. H23 trannies are great for boost. I'm just gonna stick with my m2f4 for my turbo setup. If I don't like it I can always swap an h23 tranny.
