I did a search for my question and could not find a definite answer.

I have a 97 civc dx 1.6(non vtec). The tranny is on its way out. Looking at junk yards I can get a tranny for a vtec for half the price.

Will a tranny for a vtec work on a non vtec engine?
I know it will bolt up, but is anything else needed so that it will not throw codes?


Thanks

 

it should work, ive used non vtec man. tranny on vtecs but cant say for sure

 

From my search I see that they may have different gear ratios between the two ( can anyone confirm? ). It sounds as if it will bolt up and drive, I am also looking for some reliability. I don't want it to shift way late or way early and throw codes. I don't know how much electronics are in these trannys.


I know some cars you put the wrong ratio in and you have serious drive ability issues. I just don't want too may issues, speedo off is no big deal .


Thanks

 

any d series tranny will work, get a lx or ex tranny auto.
