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

It's an S40. That's the one thing I knew to look for when buying. I just went out and took a look at it. It's stamped P4A and the second sticker says E7F.

Yeah I had been referencing your thread. Very helpful, thanks! I was particularly interested in what years were drop-in compatible when I was searching and you had that info in there. Now I'm referencing it for the gear ratios. I still haven't come across good info on how to differentiate based on the outside if the transmission. According to Reference: Transmission Specs - ClubCivic.com - Honda Civic Forum the trans could be either of the final drives as an E7F just depending on the chassis.

I will say that I did not feel a difference seat of the pants but so many aspects of the car changed after the swap I wouldn't know it if it hit me in the face.
