Transmissions

Post by jcoliver »

I have a B20a5 and would like to get more rpms out of my third gear, is there any trans. that will bolt up to this block?

What do you mean by 'getting more rpms out of 3rd gear'?

The transmission from a B21A1 will bolt up to your B20A5. The gearing in the B21A1 tranny is far shorter than the B20A5 so your car will hop up to speed faster. For acceleration, it's an awesome gear setup. For highway driving though, the 5th gear is too short.

Thanks thats exactly what I need to know, I run my 89 prelude on a dirt circle track and at the end of the straightaway I am only running at about 5300 rpms so this will help out and thanks again
