Hey all, I have a '90 crx dx with a d15b2 and 5th gear went in the stock L3 trans. So I went to a junkyard and picked up another trans but the sticker says GW so I googled it to see what I could find on it but got nothing. I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this trans, at least what it came out of.. it looks very similar to the L3.

 

Looks like you didn't search well enough and screwed yourself... Found it in 1 minute of searching - read it and weep...

Ah thank you! Idk why I couldn't find anything myself.. but how did I screw myself? Do the 84-87's have a different bolt pattern or axles or something?

 

completely different bolt pattern - this is how GW transmission relates to 88 and up D-series block:

 

Ah I see.. thanks jlicrx, guess I'll see if they'll take this trans back. Anybody have any experience with the overhaul kits from drivetrain.com?
