I'm already finding info on other sights suggesting the sedan has a taller 5th gear than the HB? is this true?

Also, the 5th gear from the Echo is taller (as I suspected) and might be swapped out quite easy.

I'll keep looking around.

Oh, it IS Christmas day. Is that why all the stores are closed? Shows how much I pay attention to such things...:)

I see a lot of people who auto x get shorter tires and smaller rims to increase their acceleration. I would think the opposite of larger diameter rim and combined with a larger tire you would get slower acceleration but it would make it easier on your engine once you get up to speed. Thus lowering your rpms at highway speeds if thats your only concern.

A heck of a lot cheaper than tearing out your transmission and rebuilding it or swapping in another.
