#5428 Just like teal dx said......stay away from the LX or DX, the gears are annoyingly long.

#5443 some people like long gears for turbo, but shorter gears will always accelerate you faster, especially with a turbo. I'd rather accelerate faster since that's the speed I'm usually driving in and lose some mph on the top end. Cause how often do you really bury the speedo?

the DX/LX is very similar to the EX/Si tranny the tranny you want to stay away from is the VX/CX those are soooo long it makes a 3 hour movie look short
