Can someone post the gear ratios for the at least the USDM 8/MR/9 transaxles?
Thanks!!

 

Here's info from the 2003 manual:

ITEM SPECIFICATION

2nd 1.950
3rd 1.407
4th 1.031
5th 0.720

Final reduction ratio (Differential gear ratio) 4.529

EVO VIII 5spd

Final Drive Ratio 4.529
1st Gear 2.928
2nd Gear 1.95
3rd Gear 1.407
4th Gear 1.031
5th Gear 0.72

EVO IX 5spd

Final Drive Ratio 4.529
1st Gear 2.785
2nd Gear 1.95
3rd Gear 1.444
4th Gear 1.096
5th Gear 0.761

 

What is better for the Highway and for the track? 5 Speed or the 6 speed, what trans is overall better to have?

 

Just curious if there are any options for the 5-speed transmission that will make top speed somewhere near 130mph at 7500rpm? The ratios listed above show speeds way above that.

Thanks,

Dave
