Default tranny swap for D15

ok i remember reading that the ex trans can be swapped onto a D15 with no work correct??

If this is true what are the benefits? is it worth it? Im going to need to change my clutch soon so i figured while i have it out, why not replace it.

Also, where would be a good place to find one of these?

TIA

As long as you are swapping a Hydro tranny for a Hydro tranny or a Cable for a Cable the D's will bolt right on.

I would suggest the tranny it's shorter gears are very nice. But, if you are going to do this, an LSD is that much better.

swapping in a EX/Si tranny onto the D15B7 is the BEST mod for the money you can do.

Trust me.

Excellent write up Mista Bone. So the ex/si tranny will bolt straight up to my 92 d15b? Also, where do you recommend getting one of the trannys for a good price?


Thanks for the great info.

2.4 hours to swap the trannys is my best time so far.

AND this was at Mid Ohio in the paddock, not in a heated garage!

LSD - a mind altering chemical substance known to produce halucenogenic and vibrant visions highly abused during the seventies.

Limited Slip Differential which evenly distributes power to the drive wheels, eliminates torque-steer, enhances take off under hard acceleration.

= Same results, enjoy your drive
