I assume that the number F5MBD-1-ABZ represents the euro spec 5 speed but what number is used on the N.American spec 5 speed? |
Thanks, cr45!!
I just snapped this pic of the label on my gearbox (located on top... the accordion-looking thing in the pic is on the clutch cable):
Note my different part number F5MBD-1-BAZ vs the Euro spec F5MBD-1-ABZ .
If memory serves, the only difference between the two is in the final drive ratio. So people on this side of the pond wanting the taller gearing need only have those gears sent over, not the whole gearbox. (Saving a ton on shipping cost, I'd assume.)
Edit... I'm wrong. Ratios for 4th and 5th are also different:

But in fact, looking at the 4th/5th differences, the tallest possible top gear combo would be with the Euro f.d. and the non-Euro 5th. So obtaining just the f.d. gears would be the best eco approach.
