Well I am in process of my manual swap and have a CX tranny.. Is it worth it to take apart this thing for an ideal gear ratio or final drive or whatever.. or not??

I am fairly mechanically inclined.. and i dont see a whole lot of info on this..

Also pricing.. EX tranny= much cheaper then doing this? Or could i possibly get a better ratio then that??

 

most aftermarket final drives go for $500 and up. you can easily find the info to swap to an EX final drive. its not too difficult, i personally havent done it but watched one of the best do it to mine and it wasnt much work at all. definately cheaper to pick up a used ex tranny and use it if you trust the condition, or use the FD.

 

hrmm maybe buying the FD off the ex is an ok idea.. damn stuff so expensive i just wanted to turbo and auto to manual swap!! haha thanks.. Any good places to buy an EX tranny and sell my CX one?

 

i got a 4.25 final that I can sell you

 

i have a 2000 ex tranny that needs a new home....

 

buy the FD and swap it, much cheaper.

 

thanks for all the info!

with swapping the final gear.. what will my potential MPH's be and things of the sort?

 

Don't use that CX tranny unless you are boosted. The gear ratios are terribly long!

 

ok im at work on my phone so bad punctuation.. anyone do the math for the tranny.... i am going to boost but i thought shorter gears are better either way.... anyone calculate how close it would be to an ex tranny? is it an easy transfer?

 

sorry i cant answer pms on my phone.. looking for a tranny with good enough ratios for a greddy kit 7 psi for 14s... maybe 13s with a little help.. what is best? will ex fd and 3rd make it all good or do they require too much modification to fit?

 

it's a direct swap for your trans

 

ok that sounds good theb..ill be off work in an hour and pm u! hope its not a hard install hah!
