Default EX tranny on a HX??

OK....so my tranny and stall converter from my 97 Civic HX just messed up. I just recently purchased a 97 Civic EX tranny and well I was wondering if it should work in my car? I have heard lots of rumors that supposably they are not the same, and well I know that but would it work in my car? Would the car run without a problem? I know that the HX tranny has some sensors and stuff like that and the EX dont. Would the car still work? Has anyone done this before? I would really appreciated if someone could help me out. THANKS!!!!

Is your HX an automatic?

He said he has a stall converter, so it must be.

He could be mistaken ... it's known to happen. I've had people think they have transmission coolers and torque converters on their manual Hondas.

That being said, I'm relatively sure you can't use the EX automatic transmission with the stock wiring harness and ecu, being as the HX auto is a CVT, and thus feeds information from different sensors into the ECU about what "gear" it's in.

yeah its an auto.....so is the car going to work with the EX tranny without changing ECU's or anything like that? I just wanted to know what else I was going to have to change since I know my car has a CVT tranny....

Yes, and if you changed ecu's to the Y8 one then you'd have a tranny that worked decent but your HX engine wouldn't work right!

i think an auto to manual swap would be cheaper than buying a new cvt tranny, eh?
