I got a 96 HX w/CVT transmission. I tranny is not switching out of first instead just revs real high. Do I need to replace the tranny?? If yes, then if I through a EX tranny will I have to get an EX ECU?? Need help fast.

 

first off i would get your tranny fluids changed, they also make this tranny fluid that is supose to help with a gear shifting problem just as yours. as far as trading tranny's if you stick with a auto then your ecu will be fine, i would consiter upgrading to a ex ecu if you find on laying around ( better power gain) but your hx's will be just fine

 

ya but is it compatible?? Its a CVT transmission

 

You're pretty fucked.

The CVT trannies are all going to **** and there's nothing you can do really other than swap in a 5-speed tranny with the pedals, clutch hydrolics, etc.

The CVT trannies are rare to find used, and even if you find one they'll probably **** out soon too.

My cousin has had THREE of those damn CVT trannies in her car with only 91K on it!

Manual swap is calling your name!

 

Ya if I do a swap will the it work right? I know that the CVT trans. use alot of electronics.........so what do I do??

 

Just pull them out. Go buy the 5 speed transmission and pedal assembly and we will help you out the rest of the way. And buy a helms manual too.

 

I have a 6th gen EX AT tranny if ur interested.

 

Thanks for looking out. I will consider it.

 

But does anyone know for SURE IF the EX tranny will fit the HX????? and work right also.
