Get the cheapest one and it'll do. You can swap out final drive ratios etc later on.

That long gears crap is just that. If you know how to size a turbo to a motor, there is no reason for any of that "it stays in gear and in boost longer" BS.

EX or SI is the way to go as all of these guys before me have stated.

The gearing in the si and the ex are identical. There is absolutly no difference between them.

The shorter the gears, the faster you accelerate. Get the ex tranny.

96-00 EX tranny FTW


DX tranny isn't that bad, it is long but not as bad as the cx, vx or hf

Seriously...I thought the VX tranny was the longest. Well I guess any S40 tranny is long as hell.

S40 is a generation of honda trannies, not a specific one.
