Hello all new to the forums here. I have a 95 civic hatch with a 1.5 stock motor. I use this car to drive 120 miles each day. Over the weekend I replaced the rear main seal, clutch, and I bought a stock used 5 speed tranny out of a cx,dx,vx,si hell no one told me the model. Everything bolted up fine and runs great. Problem is my little green shift light comes on in 5th gear. I bought a si cluster and installed in the car so I would have the rpm guage and it reads 2900 @ 70 mph. It seems a little higher than the previous tranny plus like I said the shift light comes on now. Anyone still run a stock sohc 1.5 that can give me some insight on this? I assumed the 92-95 5 speed trannys were all the same gear ratio.

Thanks,
Shane

 

cx and vx are the longest gears, then dx, and ex and si have the shortest ratios. so since u have a dx the tranny u prob got an ex or si since the rpms are higher.
