I have a DX Transmission (1995) laying around that I would like to swap in an EX/Si gear set and higher FD, maybe even an LSD. Is this possible? Are certain transmissions are better than others for swapping gears? This is for a D-series of course. Thanks!

 

bump for quick answer

 

Possible, but expensive.

The LSD is gonna cost over $1000 with parts.

You also have to be careful with different sozed bearings on the countershaft, then you'll have to reshim the mainshaft.

Just buy a EX/Si tranny, easier than butchering up two trannys and neither of them working right.

 

yep, just like he said...all the bearings are smaller and housings in the DX tranny

 

wrong, i put all the internals of a si tranny into my dx tranny, its just i had to use the dx bearings cuz si dont fit when you put casing on, so yes it will work but use dx bearing, and i have an si tranny casing with no internals for sale CHEAP hit me up

 

just wondering why didn't you just install the si tranny instead of putting all the si internals in the dx. i was thinking the casing was bad or something, but you are selling casing??????

 

you want to know what trans parts will work with what gear set ask the master Im a guy on here his screen name is bense

 

why not just use the ex/si tranny

 

i didnt use the si trans becuz the casing i had already was polished the si trans was dirtyyy and the si trans forks were broken

wrong? wtf is wrong???? no1 said it couldnt be done, said the bearings are all diff sizes...they have bigger bearing in the ex/si tranny for a reason, higher rpm all the time = bearing spinner faster than the dx...thats why bigger bearing...go ahead and put the ex/si in there..and watch how long the bearings dotn last....im sure they put bigger ones in there for a reason. thats why i Used my CRACKED ex housing still over the DX...expletive those small *** bearings. but no1 said it couldnt be done, so NOTHING is wrong

 

That is exactly the info I needed! Thank you! I wont' use the DX tranny, no way.

 

dude my tranny is fine been running for 3 years with dx bearings you dont have any experience so you shud stfu it works cuz ive done it and my tranny is good and still runs after all the abuse i put on it

JBH, long time no post/see......


Bense started as a student of mine........

Student almost as good as his master, I've still with held a few tricks, but his is the only person that I've shared my shimming trick with.

He's been detoured by some F2B BS, might have lost his tranny edge
