How to hypermile a VX/CX Civic transmission?
Tips?
I just completed the install of a 1993 Civic CX transmission in my 1998 Civic DX. Way tall gearing. Speedo registers 25 mph when I hit 2000 RPMs in 2cd gear. I'm in third up to 40mph/2000rpms... the tranny seems to be turning about 2000 rpms at maybe 58 mph. I have 14" DX wheels on, so I'm actually a little taller than a VX/CX would have been with its 13" wheels.

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.
