Default cx, lx, and ex tranny question

i currently have a lx tranny being worked on and im thinkin about buying a cx tranny from a junkyard just to have my car running for right now. ive heard the lx tranny has longer gears than the ex tranny, but i was wondering if the cx tranny had longer or shorter gears than the lx or ex trannys.
