Tall vs Short Gearing for FE

[omgwtfbyobbq]

Couldn't someone just swap the gears between trannys to get a 1-4 that are good for acceleration and a really low 5? Best of both worlds?

You're not going to see much of a gearing difference with a si 1-4 but an HF 2.95 final,

hm maybe that's why the fit had such short gearing? gears for the city?

makes me wonder if nissan's 6spd for the versa is more suited to my cause, i could care less for highway.

All new honda sticks have short gearing,
