"This gear swap for your 01+ Protege or MSP with 5 speed manual reduces your highway cruising rpms for a more comfortable and gas sipping drive. These components can be replaced on the car without removing the transmission"
Has anyone tried something like this? What results did you get? Recommended or not? What's involved in doing the swap, how difficult would it be (ie need to have a shop do the swap)? What kind of reduction in rpms and increase in mileage could be expected from doing this?
I do a fair bit of long-distance driving, and it's always bothered my how high the rpms are when at highway speeds (120kph = 3600rpm). Basically just wondering if it's worth the price. Any info that could be provided would be appreciated.
