A typical 4-2-1 makes good gain from low-mid rev range to rev cut, without loosing the low range.

A typical 4-1 makes huge gain from mid rev range to cut, but loosing the low range slightly.


Situation A:
You are doing a sprint, you will only use zone A (1k rpm to 3k rpm) once or twice and from 3rd gear on wards you will be using zone B (3k rpm to 6k rpm). So you want a 4-1 because it gains more in that range. Whatever gain in zone A (from a 4-2-1) is near to useless to you, and the gain in zone B from a typical 4-2-1 is lower than that from a typical 4-1. So a 4-1 is better for sprint.

Situation B:
You drive the car in town with traffic and you shift at 4k rpm max. You will need a 4-2-1 because you will be using the low to mid range most. The lost in zone A from a typical 4-1 will make your car more lethargic to drive at low speed in high gear ratio.


Situation C:
You are cruising on highway in 5th gear at 110km/h or slightly higher, and occasionally speed up to 140km/h to overtake some slow cars. You will be using zone B most of the time. So a typical 4-1 will be more suitable for you.


Situation D:
TOP SPEED? From the graphs, it has to be a 4-1 but since aerodynamic property of the entire car is more important at that speed, you won't experience see much difference between the two. One may find the need to use 4th ratio instead of 5th when a 4-2-1 is used, and it's easier in 5th with a 4-1.


So, it's all about the power band! Nothing to do with 4-2-1 or 4-1. It's also about how you use the power band, nothing to do with 4-2-1 or 4-1. CLEAR?

Above questions answer should be YES. My fren service agent for Honda.. He told me, i service car everyday.. the car got change or not u think cannot differentiate?

So here the question is, warranty depends if the SA wants to give u claim or not only.
