    1. i don't think honda ever made tip tronics apart from F1 cars (flame me if im wrong here) so its either manual 5 speed or auto
    2. im not sure on SOHC vtecs but in the b16a its 5500 rpm with redline at 8000.

    peace

    The auto's in the sedan either came with a 4 speed auto or a CVT transmission.

    Not all VTi's comes with SOHC vtec, i think only the coupe's do actually.
    the sedans come with d16y5 's.

    The VTi Sedans all come with SOHC vtec's, it's the GLi sedans that don't have vtec.

    No, honda don't do triptronic. I probably would assume your friend said something about CVT. Continous Variable Transmission or something in that line, where the engine remains at a particular rpm and the gearbox continously changes ratios.

    vti-rt, its not the case. I sat in one myself today while looking at cars with a friend. Grey 98 VTi sedan with a d16y5, 30,000 on the clock, perfect condition, i opened the hood and confirmed what the rego said. No VTEC!!

    CVT only came with the EK shape VTI sedan.

    CVT (continously variable transmission) is like a one speed auto. Its not tip tronic or anything like that.

    Not too good with the VTI sedans, although it seems that you could only get either a 5 spd manual or CVT in the VTI sedan.

    Too my knowledge ek, your correct that the VTi Sedans only come in 5-speed manual or CVT auto only.

    Weq, the fact that it's a VTi means it should have vtec... the car must have had something shifty done to it....
