Ive been looking for a new tranny. and i found one. Its an HX tranny. but im not sure if it will fit in a 00 ex. not only that i want your guys opinions on which tranny to get considering that this summer i am turboing my D16y8 motor. someone please help. i appreciate all the help.

 

uhhh, i thought the HX tranny had some kind of funky variable belt drive system. or am i thinking of another one?

 

You don't want the HX tranny, gears are too long.

The HX tranny is CVT.

 

no your thinking ov cvt tranny the hx tranny is normal and will bolt up to any cx, dx, hx (obvious), or ex.

 

ok. so the HX tranny will bolt up to my Ex. but is the tranny strong enough told over 250 HP so should i just wait and upgrade to a newer tranny?and if i get a new tranny, wut should i go with. because im not sure wut trannys will fit my EX and be able to hold over 250 HP

 

The tranny will hold but youll need a different clutch. I know there was a post on here a while back that listed all the trannys and their gearing lemme see if i can find it

::edit::
I found the post I was looking for but it doesnt list the gearing for the HX 5speed but its pretty close to the DX tranny (going by feel)

as you can see theres not a huge difference except for the final drive between the DX and the SI hatch/ del sol
2nd and 3rd are slightly different.

The HX tranny is geared far too long for any performance usage.

Get an EX tranny.

The CVT was optional for the HX. The 5-speed manual was standard.
