HRH Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Autocross today. Needed a 2.5 gear badly. Wasn't worth shifting to third, kept wringing it out in 2nd, probably could have picked up a couple seconds if I hadn't been having to lift at 7800 rpm in a few sections. 1 Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yep, even for not that much hp, Ugly Betty sounds great! Need more compression. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 ...and a 4.11 so you can grab some third. Hey Matt was Betty at Canby? and the one I got a ride in? 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Already have 4.11s. :D Up from factory 3.55s. Needs more power. And third gear is terrible in that transmission. Wide gap from 2nd. No Canby this year, remember? Previous Canby, yes, I did take Ugly Betty a few years back. I can't remember if that was what you rode in, or if it was the red hardbody? Quote Link to comment

You need the '84-'86 200sx CA five speed. It has a 1.902 second gear. Yours has a 2.071 and why there is a monster drop to the 1.308 third that both transmission have. Basically 2nd is slightly closer to third with the 200sx transmission so you won't have so much RPM drop. Yes two? years ago, bluish goon. I was hanging onto the dash. Quote Link to comment
