so i'm driving down to Dimmitt, Texas to see my friend Jason, and as i pass 95 mph, i notice my tach reading around 4k. i think to myself, "damn it would be nice to have a 6th gear, or a taller 5th gear."
is this possible?
i would rather not replace the whole tranny, just add a gear, or replace 5th. if i replaced the whole tranny, i would probably have longer gears (if a 5 speed swap) or i would have to unload a LOT of money (6 speed swap).
i obviously already have a 5 speed...
what do you guys think?

6 speed is not gonna happen realisticly.
You can always change the gears out. I don't know if there are any off the shelf parts available for it though.

yeah, i know peeps patch together prelude and intera gears to give our cars better ratios, i'm shure you can do the same and just swap for a taller 5th gear.

Check the howto section for Teg trans howto. There is a chart of gears there.
