im going to be swapping out my auto and looking for a 5spd, is there a really big difference between the 2? also all 5spd trannies from 92-00 will bolt up on my 94 civic? thnx

92-95SI tranny is the same as 92-95EX tranny. 96-00EX tranny has the same gearing as 92-95EX/SI tranny, but has a stronger shifter fork. Any d-series tranny should bolt right up. However I wouldn't bother with anything other than an EX/SI tranny.

 

thnx for the fast reply, i really want to get a swap and giving myself 1 month to gather all the parts, heres is my "to get" list:

ex/si tranny
axles
hydraulic lines
p28 manual ecu
shift linkage
pedal assembly
clutch master cylinder
clutch slave cylinder
starter
place racing mount.
driving 5spd for dummies book

does that seem complete? i might look for an si guage cluster too, but not sure yet. thnx.

uhm, thats what i thought too. i have a 98 ex tranny in my hatch. all of the gears seem to be the same except for 5th? my g/f's 95 ex 4-door. i think like 80mph was 4k rpms..... i dont remember. i know my rpms are lower for the speed in 5th. i would have to go drive the car and refresh my memory. this made me this i had a dx tranny or something, but i looked at the numbers on the sticker for tranny type, and then looked at the numbers on a 98 stock ex that came trhough my work, same numbers... i dont know? maybe i have a freak tranny. and yes. all d-series trannies will work on a d-series engine. just make sure you keep 92+ for hydrolic and 88-91 for cable.

 

hmmm... also another question.

would the parts that i have to get be all from the same year? or could i mix it up ex: 00 si pedal assembly, 94 shift linkage, etc....

 

its not the numbers....its an a or b stamped on the metal casting........00a or 00b something like t hat...I'll double check later..I have a few tranies at home...

hatch si and del sol si have di ff 5th gear ratios then the 2 and 4 dr EX. 1-4 and final drives are the same though.

which one is better? the Si hatch/del sol Si or the coupe/sedan EX tranny?

 

read the page bro.

acceleration wise the hatch/del sol si has the quicker gear (numerically higher). The coupe and sedan 5th may be good for those who get a 4.929 SRR final drive and want the mph a little lower.

My SRR final should in my spare vtec tranny soon. Ill let everyone know how it is if i get off my *** and put it in my car. (4.929 srr unit).

 

how can you tell the difference between the Si and EX tranny just by looking at it? I have both trannies sitting in my garage and I want to know which one is which so that I can get the Si one rebuilt....TIA

 

bump for an old thread...somebody anybody? how can you tell the difference visually?

 

This is the easiest way of knowing.
A (92-95) tranny will have a sticker on top with S20
Right on passenger side of diff it will have...
b0000= ex/si tranny short gears
a0000= long gears
Same rule applies for S40 trannies(96-2000)

 

Damn didnt even see the date on this thread...

 

but you made me catch it!

 

Dates back years lol but thanks for responding!
