My 1st gear go up to (55 mph), why so long? - 8/4/2007 5:03:26 PM    nightrider46 Posts: 427 Joined: 7/14/2005 Status: offline I have an auto jdm b16 but i dont think it has a b16 tranny because when i tested out the gearing in 1st gear it went to 45mph @7k rpms and at 8200 rpms it went up to 55mph. Why does it have such a long 1st gear? how many mph does your 1st gear go up to? _____________________________ My 97 Civic DX w/ JDM b16 swap http://www.cardomain.com/ride/732409 My other Car Sentra Spec V http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2312132 Post #: 1

What are you talking about, i put it in the regular gear and thats how high my engine revs i'm not forcing anything on my engine.  I drive it regular but when i go WOT thats what it does and it goes to 2nd gear and 3rd and so on.  I guess you dont get what i'm tring to say. < Message edited by nightrider46 -- 8/4/2007 6:48:00 PM > _____________________________ My 97 Civic DX w/ JDM b16 swap http://www.cardomain.com/ride/732409 My other Car Sentra Spec V http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2312132 (in reply to addiction2bass) Post #: 5
