Are you sure about that? Why would the 00 only let you go to 112 and the 99 up to 120 in 3rd.

The 02 goes up to about 120 in 3rd!

02' Type S or '02 Premium?

I would understand 99 vs. other years because gearing would be different (4speed vs. 5 speed...)

02 TL-S.

I agree. But aren't the 99 and 00 5-speeds also?
