Will the automatic transmission from an EX work in a DX if they're both EK?

 

yes

 

Is there any difference between the two? Different gearing, etc? Is an EX tranny stronger?

 

Can someone anwser his question? I'm curious myself because my ex AT is dead and i cant seem to find an EX replacement so i wanna know if the DX AT is the same thing?

 

What's going on with your transmission? How did it die?

 

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

 

DX tranny has longer gears than EX. EX is the way to go, but do a manual conv if you can

not worth it IMHO. if you want a a 5spd vehicle buy a 5spd vehicle

 

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?

 

Finally a clear answer so the EX trans has shorter gears for the vtec then eh? and the DX has longer gears cause its pos right? so is that the only difference?

 

Bump

 

heh heh it doesnt matter now I was able to find a ex auto in a 2dr coupe at some salvage place had them pull it picked it up today its g00d

 

How much did you pay?

 

$270.63 122k miles ....some salvage yard here in dallas

 

also my 94 civic ex is my cruising car thats why its auto the crx is for everything else and its 5spd

 

Damn, 122K? Isn't it going to blow up soon? :/
