It seems to me that the red VX has the stock trans, and I don't know what the blue one has. By my calculations of the gears and revs the stock VX in 4th gear should rev at about the rate my 98 DX does in fifth gear--in fact the VX should be slightly taller, I think, even in fourth. Is it possible you have an HF trans? Or that some of the gearing has been swapped, such as the HF final drive, or that you have an import VX trans somehow? My understanding is that the P20 code denotes several different transmissions and that you really need to count revolutions to know what you have exactly.
