ex engine, p28 ecu. now, i need to know wat tranny i got...first redlines at 7000 rpm at 60 KMH. second redlines at 7000 at 110 km 3 rd redlines at 160 km. 4th i belive is 190. is that a dx gears seem really long

 

Get on the free way and once you get to 70mph if your tach is around 3000rpm you have an EX/Si tranny.

With the Ex tranny, here are your approx. shift points (at redline)
1st - 35mph
2nd - 59mph
3rd - 84mph
4th - 120mph

If her EX redlines at 25, she doesn't have an EX tranny.

 

could be true, but why does my lx tranny red line at 35 around 60 and around 85 ?

 

yup on my ex around 70mph its at about 3000k

btw for you canadians out there 70mph is about 100-115 kmh?
70kmh is only like 45-50mph...someone correct me if im wrong i dont feel like going outside to look at the little numbers in my speedometer

they drive slower in canada due to their smaller freeways....or "highways"

 

Actually, we generally drive faster in Canada. And yes, 70mph = 115kph (approx).

 

Whatever the case, what I posted earlier about the speeds is correct. That is the gearing for an EX tranny, every other transmission gets a bit worse as you go through each model.

Not to punch holes in your post but watching your cluster's tach is not always very accurate for both speed and engine rpms. It's converting an electrical signal to a mechanical output so any slight variation in wire length, connectors, etc (aka resistance) will vary the speedo/tachometers. It's not uncommon for your tach to be off by 300 rpm at times, so that's just something to keep in mind. Having a digital readout is helpful (vafc or such)

There.

 

i used to live in Canada, and thats how i know this....im not trying to start an argument with you, but i dont understand how u can say this?...the average speed limit in canada is 70kmh and the average speed limit here in the US is 65mph...(on the freeway of course)

and on top of that nobody goes 65mph...im cruising at around 80 and ppl are still passing my by
