differential ratio (Standard vs Sport)
 

Hi again....

I see that the 2011 Sport has bigger wheels than the standard 2011 Fit. Can anyone tell me if the differential ratio in the transmission is different between the standard Fit and the Sport Fit? The standard Fit has 15" wheels, and the Sport has 16" wheels.

Is the transmission identical in the standard and Sport? I would think that the wheel size would effect the differential ratio, but I can not find the answer to this question.

Anyone know?

Thanks

No differences base or sport. Only 2 transmissions are available- 5 speed or auto.

5-Speed Manual Transmission Gear Ratios: 1st: 3.308, 2nd: 1.870, 3rd: 1.303, 4th: 0.949, 5th: 0.727, Reverse: 3.308, Final Drive: 4.62

5-Speed Automatic Transmission Gear Ratios: 1st: 2.996, 2nd: 1.679, 3rd: 1.067, 4th: 0.761, 5th: 0.552, Reverse: 1.957, Final Drive: 4.56


Wheel size makes no difference- tire size does. As long as the overall diameter of the tire is the same, you'd see no difference with a 13" wheel or a 19" wheel. One rotation will cover the same distance.
