i was wondering if i can use a vtec tranny (from a 1998 dx) even though i have a d15b7 engine (i have 1992 eg), if i can is there any modifications needed to do the tranny swap? if u can please answer quickly bc i might be buying the tranny today its only 200. thanks in advance, you guys always help me.

 

There is no such thing as a Vtec tranny. You are talking about a transmission off of a D16y7 (with crappy long *** gears) if you are asking about a 1998 Civic Dx. Get the transmission from a 92-95 SI, 92-95 EX or a 96-00 EX and put it onto your motor if you are wanting a good short transmission.

Also, any 92-00 tranny from a D series motor will bolt onto your D series motor.

 

The tranny will bolt right up and should work great. You might want to check the speedo-sensor though, the plug might be different, but i doubt it. good luck

 

thanks for the quick *** response, and btw it is a 98 ex my fault. think the price is straight? 200 +60 for shipping shiet i also forgot about the clutch, i just replaced it like 3 weeks ago and i really dun wanna buy another will i need to?

 

no you wont need to buy a new clutch you can just ransfer it to your new tranny.

 

straight, thanks alot for the help.

No need to even transfer it, the clutch is bolted to the flywheel, which stays on the engine!

 

I use the VTi tranny from the JDM D15B SOHC VTEC.....factory LSD is cool.

 

i think all D series trannies match up with d series engines, and all B series trannies match up with b series engines. but the two cannot be mixed. i don't even think the 1998 dx had vtec. only in the ex/si and a economical form in the HX
(vtec-E)

This would be correct.

 

and 200 is a little heft for a shitty tranny, you could get an si for that much

 

man ol boy jus shietted me out of the tranny, you guys know of any good places (TRUSTWORTHY places) online that would sell a good used tranny, d16y8 preferably, or an SI tranny, i looked through the classifieds on here but really did not see anything, ima check again tho, thanks in advance.
