Any thoughts

That's the way the trany works...it's normal to geardown like that in the EK SiR.

doh worry...that is how the transmission is supposed to work. Honda designed the transmission to hold a lower gear so that the engine is kept in or closer to it's power zone. If you had a manual you would downshift to keep the revs up....remember it's a B16A and it thrives in the mid to hi rpm zone
