l7 equals not the tranny you want.. you want a l3 dude or else...

all 88-91 D-series trannies are L3's...

i got it from attarco, the receipt says d15b-vtec trans, but that cant be because its cable, i talked to another guy he said its from a sohc ZC.

I dont know I have gotten alot of jdm cable d trans atleast 10 for myself and swaps for customers and all were L3's.

If it is a zc tranny, I know one of the trannys that go to the sohc motor has LSD and is hard to find.

sorry to intrude in this thread but i was hoping if you guys can help me on my research. Im trying to figure out the best tranny to put on a d16z6 that is being boosted by a 14b? i was planning to get an si tranny but i thought that the gearing would be kinda for a high revving na set up .. if you guys can help me out or point me in the right direction i would apprecciatte it very much .. thanks in advance

if it is going inot an ef , which im assuming by your name. I would put a SI tranny on there....or a ZC.

the dx and si trannys have teh same 1-5 gears, the zc has bigger 1-5 gears, but smaller ringgear/fd.

dx fd = 3.88
si = 4.25
zc = 3.88

or you could get a civic ex tranny which has a 4.058 final drive and the same gearing as the dx/si trannys.

you should be perfeclty fine with a si tranny. the dx gearing will be longer and ---- anyne who says turbo's like longer gears. fact of the matter is the faster you go trhough your gears *as long as you're getting traction* the faster your car will be, boost or no boost. you'll be making more power by keeping it higher in the power band between shifts with the higher gearing.

only down side is higher freeway speeds which the si isn't that bad at all.

i was running a zc/ex hybrid on my dohc and it was fun. high freeway rpm though...

it is in my 90 si now though with a d16a6 and that is going to have a t-25 on it pretty soon so i'll let ya know how it rips.
