I have a BPT, soon to go in my MX, and i was wondering what trans to use. I know obviously the Pro LX 5 spd, but im talkin as far as gears and all. I will prob need the bellhousing to mount to the motor, but im just afraid the gears are a little to short in the protege tranny.
Anyone know about either swapping to a taller final gear to get more speed out of each gear, or just another tranny gear set that is compatible that has taller gears.
I know a lot of honda guys like to use the non vtec trannies, becuase the gears are a lot taller becauase its meant to get the same speed in each gear out of a lower reving engine, and when mated to the high revving vtec motors, some achieve like 110mph in 3rd gear and all. I am interested if there is anything like that I can do for the MX-3 with a BPT motor in it.
Thanks

Re: What tranny to use for BPT
I am using the protege lx tranny and I do wish that the gears were taller.. I know that it is only a joke to max out the car in fifth.. I can do it no problem. However I dont know how fast I am going because my speedo is messed up. But then again the mx is not for top speed as much as it is for mind numbing acceleration ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
