by a mechanic like 1400 installed. it will be hella cheaper if u do it yourself, if u know how to.

Anything over $175 isn't going to be worth it unless you're going to find a way to make it solid, as another transmission can be had for around $200-250.

Street Ghost

Yeah, it's going to cost more than just buying another tranny.

Rednas

just buy another tranny from someone doing a swap. it is much cheaper than fixing the one you have.

i bought my tranny for 100 bux. my 3rd gear is going also. I was thinking about rebuilding mine but I know Im not going to attempt it. Ill just buy another tranny.

what type of transmissions can i use? like can i use any integra trannies if so what years? So then i can have more options when searching for one. Thanks for fast reponses. Also would the axles work with other trannies.

Other hydrodraulic d-series transmissions, only d series axles are going to work for you.

Try to stay between 92-00 D series civics, transmissions as well as axles.

if u plan on keeping your car for a while get a rebuild, trust me it will be worth it. i was in need of a new tranny and the rebuild was gonna be like 1400 so i got a new used one for 1000 installed (i didnt even knoe it was gonna be that much) and they put in a dx tranny so my gears were longer. just get a rebuild unless u plan on swapping it out within the next yr or so

What!? Please be quiet. He could get more than a few transmissions for that cost. People barely pay that much for their B-series, actually they don't.

Street Ghost

Even used Type R trannies with LSD don't cost that much.

And damn, you paid someone $1000 for them to put a used DX tranny in your car.

LOL ur all insane.. i paid 300 for my gsr tranny 2 be build with R internals and he installed it for 100... if some1 is payin more then the tranny is worth 2 rebuild it.. then u prolly deserve it

Hey guys I was curious. Is there a SOHC civic engine that has LSD? what about the VTi or is that DOHC? DOHC trannies wont work on SOHC motors will they?Thanks

yah, i think its the jdm d15b vtec comes with an lsd.

If you don't know how to do the work yourself, you are pretty much screwed! I suggest a rebuild, but that's just me. Never know what condition used trannies are in, unless you get to drive the car they are coming out of. Spend the money now and get a good rebuild, unless you feel like putting a used tranny in every year or so.

Correct, but not all came with lsd.

I also had no 3rd gear in my 94 ex tranny. bought a del sol tranny for $125 from someone doing a swap. Notice alot of these sohc trannies having 3rd gear problems???

gave the old one to a friend who rebuilt it for free since he had another bad tranny with right good parts need to rebuild the one I gave him. lucky bastage.

I've read a HT thread a while back that the Si tranny is interchangeable w/the Ex's. You might wanna look into it though, not positive. An Si tranny has better gear ratios performancewise.

Solscud007

Im more interested in LSD than gear ratios.
