Final Reduction Gear Ratio change
Maybe my goal is far fetched, but I have a 2004 Civic Si Sedan with a 4.41 final reduction differential, and I find it revs too high.
The engine revs at 3000 rpm at a mere 60 mph, and I wish that it could be around 2400 rpm, as my former EX 93 did with its 3.72 final gear ratio.
It would run quieter and be much more economical (I think), eventhough I would loose on the acceleration side.
Does anyone know if this is more or less easily feasible ?
Changing the differential gear would mean changing the transmission's main shaft, wouldn't it ?
