Does anybody know the exact gear ratios for all 88 accords?

Namely I am looking to see if the LX and LX-i have diff ratios.

I was able to find this . . .

3rd Gen LXi gearing:
gear ratio: 3.18, 1.84, 1.21, 0.88, 0.69
final drive ratio: 4.06:1

I've heard that you can improve the gear ratio by using a tranny from a 2nd Gen Prelude Si, I think.

I also know that PhydeauX did a hybrid trans by swapping the gears from a 1st Gen Integra into his stock bellhousing (well, his bellhousing isn't stock but that's another story). Doing this gave an even better final gear ratio than using the Prelude tranny.

I could be wrong on this stuff - I'm not up on all the trans talk yet.

From FAQ:
88 LXi:

1- 3.181
2- 1.842
3- 1.208
4- 0.878
5- 0.694
FD 4.066 (including all autos)

carb manual FD is 3.866

All the carbs have slightly lower ratios due to the difference in the final drive ratio.
