I currently have an S20 that has a few slight issues. I picked up a lower milage S40 but was told I will hate the gear ratios. Any thoughts?

 

depends which S40 you bought as compered the the S20 you have now.

 

b000 is the shorter gear ratio, big bearing trans, from ex/si. I read somewhere there might be one exception in the form of hx, which has longer gear ratio. The gear ratio can be changed with aftermarket gears from mfactory or similar company.

 

It is the one from a Hx. I thought it was from a Si when I got it until I ran the numbers on the side.

 

Which the numbers were?

Also you from Canada?

 

Semi related note: The HX was never sold in Canada. I've seen exactly one of them here and it was in a junkyard and missing the drivetrain and wheels.

 

is there any other way to know if i have a a000 or b000? i have a stock 95 eg but it didnt bring its stock tranny, the guy who sold it to me just mentioned it had a "desireable" transmission. at that time my knowledge was pretty low and didnt payed mind, now when i check the tranny for the codes it says S20 2433578 and cf5 p20 but it doesnt say a000 or b000 anywhere, last thing i hoped for was to record a video of me shifting to see if anyone with expirience can tell me if they sense the ratios and can tell me there opinion of wether it might be a b000 or the stock a000?? ive just been lost with this.

 

It's stamped in the case just above the fill hole.

 

thanks! ill check it out.

 

C5F is a P20/A000 case, not desirable gearing. I wanna say it is a DX/LX tranny,

C5E would be CX/VX.....I'd have to check.

 

cast, not stamped

 

Im really lost here, i google the code last night and was able to see what to look for and what it looks like, but just went to check and couldnt see anything anywhere, im a noob and this is my first car. is the code anywhere around here or do i need to get underneath? i took a pic but i guess i cant upload it directly from my computer.

 

My tranny has a bar code that says E7F then below P4A.

 

bar code means nothing....
