Maybe, maybe not.

Not sure what ratios the Yankee FD's came with, but the JDM cars had two different fifth ratios. Depended whether the car was supplied with a 4.3:1 diff and 17" wheels or not.

Most JDM gearboxes have a .806 fifth gear, but cars like the RS, RZ and Spirit R had the .762 fifth gear (all other ratios were the same).
