That is becasue it comes factory with a ''handcuff'' after 4th gear. When the b-series guys use a handcuff it replaces 5th gear, which doesn't make street/highway driving so great. The handcuff is used so the gears can't spread apart and chew them selves up. Other advantage it you get a half shaft. That 5th gear on the outside also makes it so you can use the old accord 5ths, makes freeway driving AMAZING haha. plus it has the shortest gear ratio out of all d-series trannies, which means it has the best acceleration. Something to think about :)

i dont think so, not really sure, just when they tune it, ask them to keep smog in mind or go to a tune shop and ask if you can still pass smog and have what you want

#186924 Most of the time they can help you pass emissions after tuning it, or they can mess with it to get it to pass. we do it quite a bit out here lol
