Hey guyz, I have 3 transmissions and I don't know what there gear ratios are or which one is better in general. I have two L3 trannys and one SL3 tranny. Which one would be better for running quarter miles? And which one would be better at top end?

 

which trannies do you have and I'll tell you which one is the best !111111111

 

if you got an si tranny in one of those L3 tranny... go with that one... its your best choice....

 

L3 tranny is good. I traded an hf tranny and engine block for my l3. Here is a link with gear ratios that might help you out

That's not always the case. I had a dx tranny (Same ratios, different final drive as the si) and I was able to bury my speedo, with my SI tranny, I can't top 115... I use 13 inch stock VW wheels with both, and the exact same tires... I prefer the DX to the SI, but if I was to go 1/4 mile, I think I would want the SI. As for L3, that's any 88-91 cable tranny, so you may have two Dxs. Do a search, there's more than enough info on here to help you find out what you have.

 

Well, thanks. On my stock tranny, that came with the car... "sl3" I was able to hit 130+ on a straightaway... (freeway racing). On my other civic hatch I was able to do the same... but with an L3 si tranny.... I always thought that the si tranny's had the code L3. I guess I was wrong. Thanks though!

 

Quick question about the final drives... which would be better? The si or dx?

 

well i have a boosted d16 and i ran a better time with the si over the dx. oh and I have gone around 250KMS with my si. I am running a d16z6 BTW and I was around 5500ish at 250 KMS not miles. I say just run an si.

 

I prefer the si to a dx.

 

okai.... now since L3 for that matter doesn't really tell what kind of transmission you have... how would I know which L3 is from an si. Say for example I go to a shop like Jtech or Jun or any shop that carries "Si" transmissions for a d16. Like is there any certain way of determaining which is which... Cuz my last si transmission blew... and I thought by finding another "L3" transmission, it would be the same. But apparently not. Just need alil more info. Thanks guyz for ur time though.
