Default b16a tranny

so I just bought a 91 CRX HF with a JDM B16A motor swap. First time owning DOHC, anyways, but when I'm on the high way doing 70 mph at 4500 rpm... just doesn't seem right. What way can I fix this, I like how it seems to have the close gear ratio... but hate driving on the highway with it.

the tranny needs to be rebuilt because it grinds in third and sometimes fourth

Is it possibly to put like a hydro tranny in this, because this is just redicilous. In fact my gas mileage is being affected.

yeah I have people flying by me and I can't really do much because I feel like I'm going to blow up the motor because it's at such High RPM.

WOW! you guys are a bunch of crybabies.

the b16/itr/gsr transmissions are made for performance and acceleration. if you had long gears with these DOHC VTEC engines, you would fall out of VTEC all the time.

nada expect gear ratios. the ctr tranny is a b16b tranny similar to the itr with lsd. Older YS1 tranny also had lsd JDM Xsi etc. Use the tranny that the motor comes with or remain stock!
