He says his car is an '05 HX, which makes it 7th generation, which was before the rotation reversal.

Oh, and on the question of other possibilities for a trans mod... an obvious simple mod would be taller wheel/tire combos. You have the 4x100 bolt pattern and 14" wheels were probably stock on your car (depending on trim level, I think). So swap to a 15" wheel an taller tires, the effect is taller gearing. I am running 15" seven hole rims from a first gen MINI.

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.
