dx or ex tranny???
I did a search and looked through numerous pages and couldn't find anyone with my same problem! I have a 99 ex 5spd and the tranny has a crack in it. I have a dx tranny i can put in right now, but will the dx tranny fit my car with no problems and will it make it that much slower than it already is??????

it will fit fine, any hydro d-series will fit, but I dont recommend it, find another ex tranny, or a 5th gen si tranny. the dx tranny will make your car much slower, and unless you plan on f/i the gear ratio sucks, but its great on gas milage.

To answer the fitment question, yes it will fit right up perfectly. As far as the gearing and such, it will be noticably slower, but you will get better gas milage as well. So that should help save money for a new ex tranny.

i've blown holes in a couple of my different trannies. I always just have them welded back up. I do not see why you cannot weld the crack shut. Just make sure the internals are ok first.

i dont have pics right now but thats what the guys told at the shop where i got my clutch put in afew months ago! It leaks oil really bad. like the speed sensor on the back of the tranny is covered in oil. It leaks really really bad.

Heres some info if you really want to go through with it: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=596873
Just ignore the rest of the stuff about the input shaft bearing.
Its not really that hard with the right tools.

Re: (skunkcoupe)
Its simple, but I pull the complete engine out. I don't like trying to work in that little space.
My first swap I pulled the LS out like 6 times because I was an idiot and thought my clutch was fucked, but later I figured out I just didn't have the axle in properly, I don't regret it either, I can do an LS swap in 5 hours by myself now if all the parts are there, I never had anyone help me with any of my swaps cause I don't trust that they know what theyre doing.
The only car I ever had a problem getting the trans off was on a hyundai, and that was cause my friend is an idiot, and really took advantage of the clutch, the throwout bearing was practically welded to the PP and it took a quad and 6 people holding the engine to get it off.
