ats has taller 1st (like the toda 1st) second is the same (toda is longer) 3rd is shorter, 4th is a lot shorter, 5th is extremely short with a top speed of roughly 180kmh

from my understanding, close ratio is pretty much when the gear ratios are close to each other. in the scheme of things Honda probably has a lot closer ratios than many other car manufactures, eg Holden, ford.

but the ats kit makes the stock ratios look far from close.

gear ratios are just a matter how many times the engine has to spin compared to how many times the wheels spin
