I recently purchased a '98 cx hatchback. There was no owner's manual with the car. I was hoping someone with an owner's manual for this vehicle would please post info here about shifting. How fast can I go in each gear? What speeds can I downshift at in each gear?

 

i have no clue, and i dont belive that your owners manual will tell you anway, it only tells you the gear ration. but any way, if you want a manual...www.autopartswarehouse.com would be a good place to start looking. do you have a tach? just shift at the begining of red line, that will give you your max speed per gear.

 

I do not have a tach. This is a '98 civic cx, it has no such fancy options. Does anyone have an owner's manual for this model? Surely it contains shifting recommendations. Somebody please post this info for me.

 

HEY WHATS UP MAN
