    Gear Ratios?

    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.
