OK, the "short gears" are revised 2nd ,3rd, and 4th for the 5 Speed. You already have the short gears in your 6 speed
. (not exact but close enough)
Your "ring rear", commonly known as the "dif", in the stock NSX is a 4.06 ratio(5 or 6 speed), the "R" ring gear is the 4.23.
Additionally they change the rear end "break-away" torque from about 60 ft. lbs. to just over 100 ft. lbs. (that is the change in the "limited slip").
If you wanted to use the 4.23, you will also need to backdate the differential to a 1991-94 dif. 1995+ differentials are different and are not compatible with the 4.23 gear. (the ring gear mounts to the dif
)
So you will need:
1. 4.23 ring gear
2. 1991-94 dif
3. Special shims to increase the preload + "R" Stopper plate
4. Manual steering rack or backdated EPS(BTW, this requires the ENTIRE system, not just the rack if you want to stay with EPS)
HTH,
