easy, there is a 3 digit code on your trans, it will be a sticker with a bar code facing upwards to the left of the slave cylinder(the first 3 digits are trans code), just like the block woud have d16y8. on it for ex. YS1 or s20... you right about the ratios because vtec and non-vtec transmissions are geared dirrfently, vtec motors have closer ratioed trannies for vtec to get the most performance out of them

actually there is a stamp on the tranny by the fill plug its a circle stamp if the stamp say A000 its a dx tranny if it says B000 its a ex. some times the sticker isnt there and ive personaly seen a dx tranny with the tranny code of an ex but this was for 92-95.
