i thought the rt gearing was the lowest? shoot my wagon is chugging fuel going over 65.

Ya mines at like 3800rpm at 80, maybe he wants to go faster quicker.

well i really like short gears and would love to get this thing at 3500rpm at 60mph. just gives it a lot more pep.. Ive search on the forum and havent seen anything about gear ratios just rwd swaps.

Im so used to driving a b16/itr trannys this rt tranny feels sooooooo long and takes for ever to get to 5th

Here is the gear ratios as stated by the factory service manual:

Primary Reduction: 1.000
        Super Low: 4.512
            First: 3.384
           Second: 1.950
            Third: 1.275
           Fourth: 0.941
            Fifth: 0.783
          Reverse: 3.000
  Final Reduction: 4.428

Using zealautowerks.com's transmission tool here is the RT4WD transmission (green) compared to a CRX Si transmission (blue) using the stock d16a6 rev limit of 7200rpm and respective stock tire sizes:



Even with a larger diameter tire the RT4WD transmission still edges out the CRX Si transmission.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Unlocked because:

a) Above post is good info.
and
b) We need some more recent discussion on this topic

Unless someone else can point me to a recent one? The other link posted points to the quick links which doesn't directly point to any discussion on this topic.

OH... my bad. Well I think you're SOL unless you want to buy some custom made parts.

Of course maybe there is a final drive that fits from a different transmission that you can get that will shorten up the rest of the gears.

metalfrisbee

i was under the assumption that since this car has a rear end there is no FD....

time to do a lot more reading then, the rt4wd has a final drive similar to the regular fwd transmission but iirc it has more bolts and a second gear bolts to it and the diff to send power to the rear.

Get some tiny wheels and tires.
