I went to a used japanese engine shop to see about getting a new engine for my car. From my research I thought I had the wrong engine onto the proper 6th generation transmission. The guy there told me the engine is the proper generation, jdm vtec zc (which is called d series in america, but dont quote me) but the transmission is 5th generation. So far I burn a standard clutch plate a year (well the 2 years ive had the car. I dont race either). I hear a rubbing, maybe grinding, noise when I try to excellerate too fast from stop to speed. I'm actually excited to learn that I had the wrong tranmission bc I was on the right track of figuring why i am having a hard time getting the car to shift smoothly.

I was wondering if someone can explain what happens when gear ratios are not lined up to the transmission, engine, clutch plate (Other than the clutch has a possibility of getting permanently stuck). I plan to swap the transmission around april or so.

 

5th and 6th (even 4th) generation transmissions are all interchangeable between each other

 

Yep. Your problem isn't that you have the wrong transmission, it's that your transmission is ****, or hasn't been installed correctly.

 

thank you both for responses.

That leads me now to do some research about rebuilding or just a flat swap. With either I'll find out how it installed and fix the leek.
