That's the most common info I find..So from what that says they are obviously exactly the same...but I searched and searched and quiet frankly it's alittle confusing cause so many people say different ****..

All I wanna know is what one would be better for quick acceleration. I don't care about top end or anything..It's just I'm ordering a sohc ZC tomorow and I wanna know if I should get the sohc ZC tranny or my friends SI tranny that he has.. someone who actually knows for sure please answer.

 

bump

 

Go with the JDM ZC for acceleration. USDM Si for ease of purchase (can be found most nearly anywhere).

 

The gearing is the same. The motor is not a BEAST. YOu wont tell the differance in either tranny. The differance is the zc tranny has an intermediate shaft making both drive shafts the same leangth. It is supposed to make a differance in torque steer under hard acceleration, but it doesnt, unless you up your power considerably. The bonus can be that some of them come with lsd. If you can get one with the lsd, then get it, that would be worth it.

Otherwise, meh.

okay thanks guys..I'm just gonna ask tomorow morning how much extra the tranny would cost .. if it's over 150 then screw it I'll just get my friends si tranny..thing is that tranny has alot of miles on it, it worked fine in his crx but it's still got over 275k on it..

 

i would find a dohc zc lsf tranny and swap the final gear with the si tranny now thats a bit better. thats my dream d-series tranny. which ill be doing soon

 

Most places will throw in a d-series cable tranny for under $150.
I once bought 5 dohc zc trannys for $250.
And there really is a mileage advantage to using the jdm tranny compared to a usdm tranny.

 

I thought only zc motors could use zc trannies or iam I wrong?

You are wrong!

D series bolts up to D series tranny from any year 88-00. It's just, only certain ones work in our cars.

You must be thinking only DOHC ZC head go onto DOHC ZC's.

There are exceptions to this, but it applies a good deal of the time.

There is always acceptions. But it's a 'down to basics' thing. I was just trying to say how you can mate a 95 Si tranny to a D15B2 if you wanted to, you know?
