The VX has longer gears AND a longer final drive than a Y7. So performance wise, the Y7 is better. But the 92-95 Si tranny is the best d-series tranny. The 92-00 EX tranny is the same thing with a slightly longer 5th gear to net you better gas mileage, plus they're much easier to come by.

For all motor try to find an EX/Si tranny and consider a 4.7FD. They make a 4.9 too, but it's really wild, for more mild there's a 4.5. If I bought one it would be the 4.7.

There's a gear calculator here: http://fatboyraceworks.com/gears/
You can use that to compare how they are geared.

Ok, D series trannys are cheap and easy to come by. I've seen a couple for under $50 local, and JDM ones for $150-250 on eBay. Theres no need to settle for crap gearing unless you're just using whatever is lying around.
