i can get a ex tranny about 80 k miles or so no problems for 75 bucks. my question is will i see a improvement with my performance with this ex bolted up to my d15b7? also is it a direct bolt on? or do i need to mess with wiring? also do i keep my stock clutch kit or do i need a different one for that tranny? thanks

 

if you can pick it up for $75, do it.
it should bolt right up, with your current clutch
you will just rev faster.
ex tranny is only good if you plan to mod your engine

 

Yes, i have a y8 tranny on my dx and It really improved my daily driving factor. i'm very pleased with the results of it and my 9lb fidanza.

 

Do it, you can keep your stock clutch kit.

$75 is a good price if the trans is in good condition, it's 100% bolt-up and will provide better acceleration without completely raping your highway gas mileage. It's the shortest USDM trans that I know of during the 5th generation civic time frame.

1st, 4th, and 5th are the same, the only difference is the B7 has a 1.762 which is slightly longer than the Z6's 1.9, it also has a slightly longer 3rd sporting a 1.172 where the EX has a 1.25.

Most importantly though, the final drive, the B7 has a 4.058 where the Z6/EX has a 4.25.

You'll be faster in each gear because of the fiinal drive, but you'll especially notice the difference in 2nd and third. Best of all, you're only at 3400 RPM doing 80mph on the highway where with the B7 trans you're doing SLIGHTLY better doing 3250 @ 80mph.

EX trans, definitely, jump on that ****, GREAT improvement for a B7 IMO, that and a mini-me swap are HUGE bang for buck w/ B7s. If the trans is in good condition - for 75 bucks? Buy that ****, slap it in, ownage .

 

yah get the clutch keep it if i will get more money buy a light weight flywheel and possibly a clutch kit idk and get a mini me. how can i inspect a tranny tho? i have no idea

Usually look for shaft play, oxidation.

You should be able to turn the shaft - I think.

Sorry, I don't know trannies .

 

i spotted the guy at craigs list. it said good tranny low miles 75.
and on h-t a guy in my town is selling another ex tranny but he doesnt know condition for 75. im wondering if this is not the same guy trying to screw someone.

 

I seen the same add he never responed seem shady.

On the performance side I install a EX/Si tranny on my stock DX motor and made a world of difference. With that I was able to beat my friends 2004 Civic Si he had i/h/e. But $75 idk if its in good as condition as it seems

 

idk. if it is good condition its a good deal. ill wont put it on right away tho. untill i get more money to get the head and a better clutch.
