BTW - we are gear limited not drag limited. According to GPS I got my 96 up to 143MPH ground speed before I ran out of gear....the car was still wanted to go though.
More about gearing.....I feel the stock gearing is nearly perfect....1st is low enough to provide plenty of umph off the line even with very sticky tires. 2nd is tall enough to use a hefty dose of nitrous in and really get the stretch its legs before making the two shorter shifts. For what its worth I found short shifting first and hitting nitrous early the best route to take. You really dont want to shorten 2nd gear because you will be traveling slow when you make your 2-3 shift and it will cost you more time. You see the faster you are going when you make a shift the less time you lose because you cover more ground.Last edited by Jeff_Jeske; December 17, 2004, 10:18 AM.

When heading into the wind, that could bring the aerodynamic speep limit lower right? simulating a slightly higher speed, increaseing lift. Physics know it alls, help me out here.Matt Hicks

I have to agree with pgt95. Even people rebuilding or just replacing their tranny, it would be a beneficial gear change, especially on a stock probe. I love the fact that my friends' prelude has such short gear ratios. He pulls really hard due to it.'93 Black on Black with Black Leather GT

drive an mx3...it has shorter gearing than my friends type-r.
the smaller diameter wheels/tires compared to the probe make a helluva difference.Wil (admin iMazda.com) 93' MX-ZE

I'm looking more toward the daily driven and road racing/Auto-X guys rather than the Drag racing guys by needing a lower 2nd and 3rd gear. I've noticed in my KLZE powered PGT that 2nd seems to be too high compared to 1st and then 3rd is just a little bit higher than 2nd. It would be really nice In my opinion to have a lower 2nd if anything.I have no goals in Life and this is what I was told...

This looks to be a very productive thread. I need to replace my tranny soon too, anyway, so maybe the info in here will help me build somethig really nice. Right now my 3rd gear and synchro are near shot and my 1-2 shift is getting worse, so i need something in the near future.
Keep the good stuff coming!

Does anyone know off hand what the trans code is for the 2.0? or where I could find the code? Someone said that 2.5 and 2.0 inards are swapable, if thats the case then I would think that anything that works for the 2.5 would work in a 2.0 and vise versa, EI new protege trans or MS protege with LSD.Matt Hicks

I was under the impression that they are both g series trannies so yes, anything that works for the 2.5 tranny will work for the 2.0.94 MX3 V6 - 403 whp 412 ft lbs 15 psi pump gas. RIP

Is there the possibility of investing the time into a 1/4" adapter plate to use the straight MTX75 on the KL03 and have the beefier case benefit? I have seen many plates forsale for rearwheel drive cars as well as honda fwd cars, so why not the probe? From what I have heard in the past you need to space out the flywheel the same thickness as the adapter plate and "most" cv shafts have enough play that they will soak up the offset.1994 PGT MS2 LC-1 370cc 190lph KLZE intake ported heads Turbonetics T4 2.5" Magnaflow STS MX3 flywheel ceramic clutch, 355fwhp ** sold
