i have a dx tranny now with a jdm d 15 and im wondering if its worth it to change to an ex tranny (besides the fact its not a b-series) because of the gearing.

 

yes gearing difference is worth it specially with d series

 

Most certainly. Change it.

 

yeah man, the dx gears are too freakin long. we did a mini me swap and ran it with our dx tranny and hit a best of a 16.8, did a lil searching around this board and found out that ex/si trannys are a whole lot better and can get a mini me hatch into the low to mid 15s, we just put ours in with a stage3 clutch, really big difference, hope that helps.

 

also so u dont get screwed by some guy, the code on the tranny is B00, or A00...i think a00 is the dx and b00 is the ex...or are they backwards lol sorry, i have bad memory.

 

P20 A000 = DX

P20 B000= EX

i had an HX tranny, i swapped to EX, and i couldnt be happier. the gearing is alot better, go with the EX for sure.

 

haha everyones wrong.... S20 A000 = cx/vx/dx/lx

S20 B000 = ex/si

 

um no...

92-95 tranny codes are:

P20/A000 is for DX/CX/VX
P20/B000 is for EX/Si

so actually, YOU are wrong. dont believe me?

s20 is the casting code. there is a difference of bearing size in the ex/si tranny vs. the dx/cx/lx tranny.

The different casting to make up for this size difference is why there are two different casting codes differentiating them.


:D

 

96-00 ex = s40 good tranny

92-95 ex = aluminum shift fork
96-00 ex = Steel shift fork

 

sorry, thats right, i just knew they all say S20

 

up fo rreference later

 

anyone have pics of where its stamped B000 on the ex/si tranny? thanks.

 

i forgot where its located, isn't it where the clutch and pressure plate and flywheel go? or its on the outside- if its on the outside id be more than happy to put one up in the morning, but ours just got installed with stage3clutch but yah, lemme know.

 

the stamp is to the right of the fill plug

 

yep, its in a nickel sized circle to the right i believe of the fill plug.
