92-95SI tranny is the same as 92-95EX tranny. 96-00EX tranny has the same gearing as 92-95EX/SI tranny, but has a stronger shifter fork. Any d-series tranny should bolt right up. However I wouldn't bother with anything other than an EX/SI tranny.

uhm, thats what i thought too. i have a 98 ex tranny in my hatch. all of the gears seem to be the same except for 5th? my g/f's 95 ex 4-door. i think like 80mph was 4k rpms..... i dont remember. i know my rpms are lower for the speed in 5th. i would have to go drive the car and refresh my memory. this made me this i had a dx tranny or something, but i looked at the numbers on the sticker for tranny type, and then looked at the numbers on a 98 stock ex that came trhough my work, same numbers... i dont know? maybe i have a freak tranny. and yes. all d-series trannies will work on a d-series engine. just make sure you keep 92+ for hydrolic and 88-91 for cable.

read the page bro.

acceleration wise the hatch/del sol si has the quicker gear (numerically higher). The coupe and sedan 5th may be good for those who get a 4.929 SRR final drive and want the mph a little lower.

My SRR final should in my spare vtec tranny soon. Ill let everyone know how it is if i get off my *** and put it in my car. (4.929 srr unit).

how can you tell the difference between the Si and EX tranny just by looking at it? I have both trannies sitting in my garage and I want to know which one is which so that I can get the Si one rebuilt....TIA

This is the easiest way of knowing.
A (92-95) tranny will have a sticker on top with S20
Right on passenger side of diff it will have...
b0000= ex/si tranny short gears
a0000= long gears
Same rule applies for S40 trannies(96-2000)
