I just recently pruchased a 00 civic h/b cx manual, before that I had a 00 civic sedan manual, and a swear that my sedan shifted a lot sooner than my h/b. I shift out of 1st at 39 mph or so and out of 2nd and about 72 mph. Doesn't that seem a little tall? Is that good or bad?

If I remember right the CX has the longest gears out of the 90-00 civics. Swap in a EX tranny and you will noptice a world of improvement

azhatch

what kind of improvements will I notice, and does it matter if the ex has vtec or not.

What in hell...........? how ... ok ok, why would vtec have anything to do with tranny, somebody shoot me, i'm an idiot now.


damn, just givin' the guy a hard time. peace

damn homie... leave the dude alone... he doesnt know thats why hes asking... no it doesnt matter that the ex is vtec... it is a d series transmission so it will bolt right up to your cx... the ex has shorter gears that is why it will make a difference

when i ran my z6 with the cx tranny the best run i could get was a 16.4 but with the z6 tranny my best run was a 15.9 and no other modifications were made. same tires same everything

long gears are good for freeway driving.

the D16y7 has enough power to take you where you need to go.

39 MPH is redline in first
and 72 is redline in second.


why do you need to redline first and second?

I don't NEED to redline first and second. Have you ever redlined your car? Why did you do it?

I got a B16 tranny on my B20, and I can practically redline my 4th! Haha beat that! Man I'm braggin about something I hate.

akteamster

redlining your car all the time cant be good for your transmission...not even if your racing are you supposed to redline it

BauleyCivic

CX, DX, LX have same gear ratios BUT

CX, DX hatch/coupe have 3.722 Final drive (slower acceleration)
DX, LX sedan has a 4.058 Final Drive (faster acceleration)

Sorry to steal this thread but i have a question about that too. My ex trans is shot and i can get a cx trans out of a 93 HB. How much of a differance will this make on top end. Good or bad?

where's that picture that says i've lowered my iq because of this thread? some people should not post here. and if they were kidding, i'm sorry i didn't get the joke.

to answer the man's question: shorter gearing allows your car to achieve high rpms faster or reach your powerband quicker. shorter gearing also allows you to stay within your powerband easier.

thanks man, that's all I needed to know. But about this redline thing, say if the car redlines at 6750 rpms, what is the optimal rpm to shift at?
