sounds pretty nice....I'm not a wiz at auto's but they are 4sp right?? the dx tranny sucks....I used to do 85-90 with my vx tranny barely at 2.5k.....in 5th...

Sounds right......

Dancing is Forbidden

in the cx i can go 130 at 2000 rpms
cx tranny = worst tranny ever

SloCivicHMM

Mike D

South Bay Surfer

is the cx tranny as same as a dx tranny?

Trial User

Auto????? Hmmm....not sure about that. You should have swapped the EX tranny also.

MonkeyMagic

yeah, 3k-70mph is right for a stock tranny. i removed my overdrive so i go 60 at 3000 but its a lil faster on the track and i don't do much highway travel so its all good

WHy yes they are...

All suck for racing........lloooooooooooooooooooooongg GEARS!!!

EX was the best mod for my Dseries!!

DX Hybridizer

Sounds right to me. I'm using a vx auto gauge cluster. A d16z6 motor and a dx hydro tranny. Which means my rev's should be the same as what you have given the trans. And your revs are right on the money. At 80 I'm just below 3500.

So you have nothing to worry about. Unless you bought a eg like me that has smaller diameter tires than stock and your doing 75mph and showing 80 on the speedo. Confirmed that with a GPS device.

how did you remove the overdrive?

SloCivicHMM

vx auto, I wasn't aware the vx came in auto, due to the fact that 5sp is better for mileage....

DX Hybridizer

I have no proof I was told it was out of a vx. And it's for sure a auto. It has a P,N,R,D4,D3,D2,D1. All those drives I found funny but I've never owned a auto honda before.

I don't know ? All I do know is it's a Auto and has a tach and works great in my manual swap.

SloCivicHMM

hmmm probabby from an LX 4dr.....but as long as it works...

averageJoe

that is exactly whre it is supposed to be. Get a y21 (b16) tranny and your looking at 4 grand at 70mph, on the stock 13 inch stillies

SloCivicHMM

I believe he is speaking of a D series tranny.....

Dancing is Forbidden

that damned final drive kills us cx and vx owners!

MLogan

Yeah there is a big difference in VX and DX gearing. Feels a lot different to me.
