There's a ex/si transmission i am looking to purchase, is there a way to find out what the transmission model is? is there a d16z6 or d16y8 engraving or a sticker? if so, where can it be located? also, is there a vin# on the transmission? thanks for any help.

 

idk how to tell them apart but they are the same exact tranny except the ex has a different final drive (ex. instead of cruising at 3200 rpms at like 75 mph, you will be at like 2800-3000 rpms at 75 mph)

 

the first gears are diff to

 

sorry, i should have been more clear. is there a way i could decipher (from the outer shell of the transmission) if it's a ex tranny from let say a dx tranny. will there be some type of notation?

and i cant remember the code...is it s20? im not 100%...im havin brain farts. lol

 

yes look by the speed sensor plug on the tranny and you'll see a round circle, it should have p20-A000 or p20-B000 the p20-A000 is for the DX, CX, and VX. The p20-B000 will be for the the Ex/Si trannies.

 

coulda swore i saw somewhere that theres a stamp on the case. A000 and B000

B000 is the one you want. ex tranny, the good one.

i saw a pic of it too, its a stamp into the casing . at least i think i saw that somewhere.

edit:

found something

theres a guy selling an ex tranny, and he has a pic of that B000 i was talking about!

edit #2:
damn folower beat me to it.

 

appreciate the help! saved me from possibly getting swindled. ha

 

the transmission has been sitting out for a few months, is there anything i need to do before having it installed? should i fill and flush the tranny?

I thought editing bumped the thread... I was wrong. BUMP.

 

I would def. go ahead and clean the tranny and change the fluid in it.

First gear is the same across all D-series trannys. It probably feels shorter because of the Si's low final drive.
