I just put a 97 EX tranny on my 1.5 liter DX motor. the tranny has really tall gears in it it seems. 1st 40, 2nd 70, 3rd 115, 4th?, 5th?. can anyone explain this. i have stock tires on it and the speeds are correct i have had my dad stay next to me in his Z06 Vette and he said they are the same as his. anyone know why? maybe the year? anyone got a top speed on one of those trannys?

I got it from a place that sells all honda parts. i know that my freinds that have EX's can hit 40 in fisrt gear tho?

you might of got screwed because my old d16z6 in my old EG redlined 2nd gear around 60 and third gear around 90 and the redline on sohc vtec should be higher than your dx

You don't have an EX tranny.

i can hit- 35 mph at 6000 rpm in first
60 at 6000 in second
about 85/90 at 6000 in third.. and i have never toped fourth or fifth...

@ 6000 RPM stock tire size (165/70/13)-

1992-1995 CX/VX:
37 - 69 - 104 - 133

1992-1995 DX/LX:
30 - 55 - 83 - 107

1996-2000 CX/DX hatch:
33 - 60 - 90 - 117

Looks like you have the 1996-2000 D16Y7 hatchback tranny

It does when you're plugging the numbers into a gearing calculator

my d15b7 dx tranny goes like this, if this helps...

1st - 30
2nd - 60
3rd - 90

another guy above said his z6 tranny went like this, does that mean dx and ex trannys are the same? i know they arent but why did he say that? isnt ex/si trannys 20,50,80 ??

It also depends on the redline bro...a DX tranny on an EX is like 37-70-110

well then I guess your gearing calculator will tell you the actual speed of your car, not the speed on your speedometer. But in this case, to effectively prove these, youre going to have to get someone to point a radar gun at your car while youre redlining each gear, sounds useless to me

on this kind of calculator, tire size doesnt matter, because everyone knows your tire size affects your speed in real life but not on your speedo (which matters)
