I have a 94 civic with a d15b. I am looking at buying a trans from a guy he doesnt know what car it came out of but was sure it would work with my motor the tag says s40-1290712 ef7p4a i looked but couldnt find anything are there other number to look for and what do these mean thanks guys

 

S40 is from a 96-00 civic d-series trans. Now you just need to see if it's a B000 or A000. B000 is from a civic ex while A000 can be lx/dx or cx/hx tranny. B000 is the shortest gearing for d-series.

 

thanks man that really helped do the 92-95 and 96-00 trans have the same case mounts and sensors is there anything i need to be aware of when i put it in my 94 civic

 

Thats not entirely true, A000 means small bearing case, B000 means big bearing case. HXs also use a big bearing case but they're geared super long.

No, it bolts in exactly the same, the only real difference is '96 - '00 used stronger steel shift forks instead of aluminum.

 

thank you im picking it up for 30 bucks so ill look for the tag when i get it in an hour.

 

its an A000 but for 30 bucks cant complain ill start a new thread when i take it apart and redo bearings seals and might add lsd who knows does anyone know of a rebuild kit i found seals and bearings for 130 and sincros for 80. does that sound like an ok price thanks again

 

Also, use your 92-95 VSS.

 

will i need to change the gear on the spider gear part or is it the same

 

You can run the OBD2 VSS, the plug is the same.

 

^Oh, that's if it's the other way around.

 

You can do either. Right now i'm running a 2000 Y8 tranny in my '94 sedan with the OBD2 VSS on it, plugs in and works fine, you can also run an OBD1 VSS in an OBD2 car.

 

^I'm confused. This is not what you told me in my tranny thread.
