Default Transmission that comes with D15B8?

Guys,
What is the model of the 5-speed transmission that comes with 92-95 CX Hatches?

The engine is a D15B8 (8V, SOHC, non-VTEC, ~70hp).

Thanks for confirming!

-Walter

S20, only thing is all '92 - '95 Civic transmissions are stamped S20. The one you're looking for comes in all '92 - '95 CX/VX models.

Great, thanks for confirming!

...anything special about this transmission? Is it sought after for any reason at all (perhaps long gears, mileage or such)?

Most people want to get rid of these things, they're the worst D-series transmission as far as acceleration is concerned. They do get decent mileage due to their long gearing though.

true that they are stickered S20. but what your looking for is the stamp near the fill plug and passenger side axle area. it will either be stamped AOOO or BOOO. AOOO is dx,lx,cx,vx. BOOO is ex and si model with sohc engines (large bearing short gears)

The problem with that is the CX/VX transmissions are geared longer than the DX/LX transmissions, yet both are stamped exactly the same.

You do realize the D15B8 is the CX engine right?
