Am i correct in thinking that the stock gears are:

1 = A
2 = F
3 = N
4 = V
5 = ZD

Does that sound right?

So here's what I want to do...I want to put in a higher 2nd gear. Would be much better for Autocrosses because I hit the rev limiter on 2nd all the time, but not fast enough for 3rd or if it is, its too quick so I have to downshift back to 2nd really quick....like I'm sure most of us do.

1st is basically useless - just a means to get to second anyway. I can ALMOST start in 2nd from a stop more quickly than 1st to 2nd....

So, what would be a good taller second gear?
