i got a 89 si with the 5 speed but the gearing sucks. i am at 45 mph at 2grand in 5th gear and highway driving is a joke. i am screaming down the highway and i watch my gas gauge drop but city driving is ok. anybody know where to get a trans that will get me good gas mileage in the city and on the highway but still have the pickup?

 

Thats not bad im at about 3 grand w/ my ys1

Cant have both either long gears, or short...

 

understood so where is a good place to get long gears

 

DX will be a little longer. HF if you want do really be idling at 100

Cars with 3 toes *not even a full foot* worth of torque need crazy short gears to move.

If you have to have better milage a DX will help a bit but HF is just insanly long.

 

Could just put the HF 5th gear in the DX transmission and retain the "short geared" DX transmission.
