Re: EX and DX automatic transmissions: interchangeable in EKs? (LSVTECoupe)
Is there any difference between the two? Different gearing, etc? Is an EX tranny stronger?

Re: (Campee)
my bro bottomed out the car (94 civic ex sedan) and after that the tranny would just go neutral after it was warmed up but when you shut off the car and turn it back on it'll work for a few min then the same thing.....tranny is already pulled though just waiting for a replacement and i dont wanna put a dx tranny in there if its too weak or it has different gearing that will mess with the d16z6

Re: (Jswpstdoff)
Agreed. Will the longer gears have an adverse affect on a DX motor? Is the gearing made for a higher output motor? Will it rev the motor too high or something?
