Wow. You may know of this or have seen it, but just in case, I have posted collected information on these transmissions: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post378478

Did it have the S20 or the S40 sticker on it? Did it have P20 stamped in the bell housing? Maybe it no longer matters... just measure what it does on the road.

It sure sounds like you have one of the very tall final drives.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
