Y8 trannies FTW!!!! But who could turn down a Z6 tranny with ZC 3-4 gear sets?????

Check your motor mounts before concluding your tranny is shitting on you. Then if those all check out ok then go to the next step.

The HX has THE longest gears..

But I know this guy in the 7th gen section who's done all sorts of testing on every single trans available for our cars (stock of course), and he swears up down left and right that the shorter the gears, the better the mileage in the city AND the highway on these cars. Though, my argument is since the HX is one of the most efficient hondas, and it DOES have the longest transmission gears ever.. there MUST be some sort of co-relation.

you guys are forgetting.. the Si trannies wont fit a single cam. They are all made for dual cams.
