Default So do I have a Dx/Cx/Vx tranny?

I have a 92-95 Hydro tranny, and the code tells me its a Dx/Cx/Vx but how can I tell which one it is exactly?

They go in this order from worst to best (as far as shortness of gearing goes).

VX
Cx/Dx
Si/Ex

Vx has a different code then Cx and Dx. Do you just have the tranny? It really doesn't matter because in the end it's still going to be slow as **** . If your gonna put this tranny on your car think twice about it. I am in the middle of ripping my slow Dx tranny out and throwing in a Si. You WILL be sorry you put it in because a month or two down the road, your gonna want a Si/Ex tranny. Trust me being in 3rd and going 100km/h gets old really fast .

S20= 92-95, S40= 96-00 They all fit, but the S40 is the best tranny in the d-series.

Lol, perhaps my question wasn't very clear.

I know that I have a 92-95 D-Series Hydro Trannsmission.

I also know that it is NOT Ex/Si

Therefore it is either Dx/Cx/Vx as per the stamp in the casting.

My question is this.....

How can I determine which of the 3 my tranny is, either Dx/Cx/Vx since they ALL carry the exact same casting stamp????

Look for a P-XX on the tranny that will tell you what tranny you have in your car.

I have looked at the casting marks....

Taken from MistaBones Page http://home.cinci.rr.com/mistab0ne/tranny.html

You can tell a DX/CX/VX tranny from a EX/Si by numbers cast into the housing. Just above the filler plug is a set of numbers.
P20/A000 is for DX/CX/VX
P20/B000 is for EX/Si

MY tranny has P20/A000 as the casting, therefor it is EITHER DX/CX/VX

The tranny is NOT in a car, and I dont know what car it came out of.......THEREFOR I am asking how I can tell which ONE of the 3 (DX/CX/VX) the tranny is???????

Maybe it's because you don't like shifting .
