well here goes i got a 96 dx hatch still has sohc my trans is ****in up the input shaft bearing is ****ed so im buying a trans from a 99 civic ex will it bolt and plug right up or will i have to change anything over any knowledge or help will be appreciated

 

it will go in fine and be a little faster

 

ex has shorter gears

 

y a lil faster?

 

because ur tranny has longer gears than the ex tranny so when u get the ex tranny u will move through it quicker

 

every thing will bolt up fine. and be a little funner.

 

really now i didnt kno that nice

 

no problems man most of us are here to help u learn

 

easy as 1,2,3 good time to think about a new clutch to since your ganna have the tranny off

 

ya u know i forgot to say that rear main might be nice to if its leaking

 

u know while ur there lol

 

Straight bolt on

 

clutch is fresh a lil more than 7k on it

 

o good deal then bolt off and on play and alittle funner with the y8

 

bolt right up, shorter gears faster accel

 

yep it will be straight bolt on and be faster too.

 

putting the trans in tomorrow hopefully it will go smooth

 

I put a JDM D15B transmission (roughly same gearing as Y8) on my Y7. It accelerates quicker, but you will be revving higher in final gear on the highway, which uses more fuel.

 

yep, thats why i decided to go with a DX tranny for my turbo setup. I didn't want to be spooling on the highway lol.

 

Could do EX tranny and do a DX 5th gear.

 

Which is more dominate for fuel comsumption? Throttle position or RPMs?

 

i dunno i could even do that. Didn't know I could open up the tranny and change the gears.

 

it definitely accelerates quicker used to be able to do 40mph in 2nd gear at 3500rpms now in 2nd im at like 4000rpm at 40mph and in the rain b4 i almost never spun my wheels no i cant help it lol
