So I just scored big time. I baught an '03 type-s transmission for $500, I will pick it up. Any suggestions on the install. I still have the a3 but I am running kpro so the rev limit is at 7500rpm. What rpm could I expect to see on the highway at 80 or so?

6th gear will be roughly 400-600 rpm lower than 5th gear at the same speeds.

Um, isn't the RSX-S 6th the same as our 5th?

The final drive is the difference. You're right though.

nah it is a bit longer than our fifth, but the final drive is 4.3 instead of our 4.7.

lucky...I would mind picking a 6 speed tranny for $500 bucks...I think my 4 gear synchro is going bad...

It has just been freshly rebuilt and not installed since the build. It was done in an acura dealership as well, so genuine acura parts yeah baby.
