I was told that the EX civic trannys have shorter gears than the DX trannys so it has better acceleration.I was wondering if this is true and if so which models have the same tranny as the EX?Also if its true,is there a big difference between the EX and DX acceleration?

 

Ex/Si same! Search Wikipedia! Yes difference! Dx long gears

Search poons you!

 

It will be noticeable. The EH3 Si has the same tranny, and the 96-00 D16Y8 also has a similarly geared tranny.

 

yes it has shorter gears,, 96-00 d16y8 has it, 92-95 si hatch has it 2

 

The thing is with the 92-95 has aluminum shift forks.
96-00 has steel shift forks.

92-95 is s20

96-00 is s40


Besides that gearing is basically identical

 

Ok was just wondering.Thanks everyone.

 

when I was at college we ripped apart one of the s20 trannys and the shift fork was cast aluminum and it had a chunk broke out of it...deff go with the steel s40

 

get a 92 si/ex better tranny

 

i would definitely go with the ex tranny especially being the simple fact that it comes from the 1.6 single cam vtec's....oh ya it has shorter gears but not by much.
