i didnt find out till after i bought it that it was a 4 speed. i cant stand it. i thought it was a 5 speed because the shift **** says 5 when i test drove it i never went fast enough to get to fifth gear. do i just buy a new tranny or do i have to buy a new engine and tranny. please help i cant stand the 4 speed

 

You have an STD model car.

You can swap just the tranny or swap the whole setup.

What do you want out of the car?

 

well eventually im gonna do a b16 swap but not now. for now i just wanna get a 5 speed. if i swap the tranny do i have to get a new ecu?

The STD 4spd is a HF tranny with out a 5th.

 

man im telling u right now. if u switch the tranny ur gonna have to switch the whole setup, i mean axels tables everything. my uncle have a 4 and when we tried to put everything in the 5 nothing would fit. so think very carefully.

 

Do your research. you don't wanna waste your $$

 

The axles are the same honda part number either way. Since it is already a manual, you can stick any d series cable tranny you want on it.

Get a 5 spd out of an si.

This is absolutely wrong.

man im telling u right now.....this is wrong!

 

you dont need anything but a new tranny thats it you dont need different axles shift linkage nothing man just the tranny. and d series cable tranny

 

You can switch the trannys. The axle spline count is the same at the transmission end. The difference is the spline count is less at the hub. You can't use an axle from a DX in a STD or visa versa(unless you change the hubs).
