I went back 3 pages but still didn't see the topic of conversation.


Are we talking gearing again. I've had an s20 trans in an hx, and a factory s40 trans in an hx. For my driving style the shorter gearing was more efficient and easier to drive.

The worst hx I've ever had, had the original s40 long gear with an aftermarket store brand clutch and flywheel. I would have to red line the car just to keep up with traffic merging into the freeway

It's been discussed to death, the extra gearing can help, but it's a marginal difference.
