I have a 1994 civic Dx with a D16Y8. I think the owner before me when they did the motor swap left the original 1.5l non vtec tranny in. What transmissions should bolt right in?
The Dx tranny Went to crap today so I need to find one just dont know what ones to look for would kinda want a better one then the dx tranny.

 

any d-series should bolt up, but a d16y8 tranny in my opinion has the best gear ratio for d series

 

really depends on what your using the car for honestly..

me ive got a daily driver..with basic bolt ons.. nothing more.. so i use a long gear d15 dx non-vtec trans.

 

Looking for somthing alittle more sporty then the dx but at this point Ill take what I can get. So any 1994 to 00 Civic and Del Sol tranny should work as long as it has a 1.6l?

 

Any transmission will work
only two things that it must be.

1. Hydraulic (not cable)
2. Must be from a D-Series Motor (any SOHC Honda)

remember must be HYDRO not CABLE

si trans seems to be good.

 

What one had the best gear ratio out of the Si Ex Or DelSol?

 

i would say the si.. but dont quote me lol.. im still learning about the trannys myself..

 

Me too lol.

 

well what do u consider best? longer gears for better gas mileage? or shorter gears for accel? si is best for accel i beleive

 

Sorry I didnt specify I want somthing with better accel. What is the diffrence between the Del Sol,Si tranny and Ex?

 

might as well grab a si trans man. if you want more accel. if you plan to go boost youll much rather a long gear or del sol to save gas and keep your boost going so your not shifting every 3 seconds lol.

 

LOL Dont really plan on getting boost. Its just a little bit of slim pick'ins for a Si tranny around here Ex is mostly what ive been finding.

Thanks that link helps alot. Im going for a Si but if I cant find one then Ill have to go to the EX tranny.

 

no problem man that site always helps me out lol. i love it there.

 

Tomarrow I go and pick up a tranny out of a 1995 Civic Ex that had a 1.5 Vtec. Im getting it for 100 bucks This tranny should work right? I read this and was thinking that It wont be a direct bolt in since mine is the D16Y8

All 1.6 and 1.5 tranny's will work on 1.5 and 1.6 blocks Zc trannys will work on engines that can support the necessary mid-shaft.

-Zc trannys use different inner axle joints from all the other boxes.

-Y8 (96-00)trannys have steel shift forks, Z6 (92-95) have cast aluminum shift forks, The Ef chassis Civic's&CRX have cast aluminum.

 

yep should bolt right up with no problems

make sure it shifts into all gears.. (pull n push where the bitch pin goes.)

 

ex's didnt come with 1.5's btw, it will still work but be shitty like the 1 u had 5gen's ex is the same as si(eh3), dx(ej2)=shitty. they are all s20; but stamped A000 instead of B000(dx). but the real y8 tranny is a bit better...

 

hi fellow local

yea the ej1 only came with the 1.6 vtec motor.

but its about the only thing youve found huh? just grab it man...if you cant find the one you want..

 

yo.
OP might as well keep his tranny if its in a good condition cause that upgrade is worthless, its not even an upgrade...

 

he can't his tranny took a crap on him lol.

we should help him find a good tranny

 

oh **** ok, yea. the one he listed he's gonna buy will be just like the one he had though...

 

Any D-series transmission will work as long as its 92+(hydraulic tranny only).

 

^ thx, nobody said that yet, lol

 

Crap Its another Dx Tranny lol Well I guess it would be worth it for 100 and not having to have the car on blocks any longer lol. It was either that or a Del Sol tranny that when your cruzin in a parking lot in second somtimes she jumps out of gear dosnt make any sounds just jumps out he wanted 150. He said it was a 1995 honda civic 2 door with a 1.5 Vtec and it was a Ex. I looked this up and it says there was a ex in 1995 but it had a 1.6 so I was all mixed up lol
But it will still be the crapy DX tranny like I had that came with the 1.5 non vtec man that does suck lol
