I also did not wire the reverse lockout, as many say, without it the possibility of going into reverse when shifting from 4th or 5th is pretty small once your hand gets a feel for where the 6th gear gate is. however i could see this still being a danger if you are driving HARD and really jam it into reverse thinking you are going to 6th.
Eventually i WILL buy an RSX harness and wire the reverse lockout, just for peace of mind.
On the speedo:
I know the sticky in this forum says that the only time a speedo mismatch is a problem is when you mix a low frequency setup (02-04 trannys) with a high frequency setup (05-06 tranny)
however i can provide data logs to prove this is not always the case. Right now in 6th gear @ 3.7k RPM my speedo reads 94 MPH! I know from the old 5spd that this should be somewhere between 75-82, even with the different final drive.
Slip, I'd be very interested to know if you end up with a similar speedo inconsistency once you have your tranny in.
