Do it right and good luck replace everything you dOnt want to pull that thing out more than you have to.
Thanks! I was thinking of identifying the ratios this way (method from Old Mech, IIRC): "Test to confirm identification of a CX/VX tranny: get an old clutch and mark it at 12 o' clock before pushing the shift rod into the trans, putting it in 4th gear (0.853). Mark the differential. The final drive is 3.25 and 4th gear is 0.853, so 3.25 * 0.853 = 2.77225. Therefore it should take 2.77225 full revolutions of the clutch to make one full revolution of the differential. It should turn 2.77 times and end up pointing a little after 9'o clock to make one full revolution."

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
