EX & DX Trannys???
 

I'm having some problems with my tranny and have an opportunity to get a cheap 95 DX tranny to replace my 95 EX tranny (until I get the EX fixed).

Does anyone know what the real differences will be? Someone mentioned different ratios, but I'm not 100% sure what the means exactly.

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

the ex has shorter gear ratios. i run a dx tranny and i wish i had a ex tranny, how does that sound?

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

So performance-wise, it would suck.

If I did have a DX though, it would still work, I'd just have to shift sooner?

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

shift later
its not that big a diff in trannies unless u want every 10th of a second in the quarter

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

If the dx trans is cheap and you need one asap it will work but in the long run you will want the ex

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

bunk that. With boost I loved my dx tranny. I never had an ex tranny on it, but with the dx I was about 80mph at 4k rpm. How much higher do you want to rev at cruising speeds? I understand the shorter gear thingy, but for the money, I'll get a dx over and over again. ;)

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

What DX tranny do you have? My ex tranny had me in the 3-4k range at 80 if I'm not mistaken. The only D tranny I remember being like you are saying is the EF Si trans.

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

you can gain almost a half a second from switching from a DX to an EX trans

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

Do you offer a money back gaurantee with that? ;D The ex will probably get you faster track times, but it's on the freeway that really counts. ;)

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

lol, yup when I build a car MPG comes first, having a fast car comes second. A DX trans is such a huge disadvantage in every way possible

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

LOL, Sorry Steve.. Matt's gotcha ;)

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

dx gears are not so much longer than the ex, its the final drive that makes the difference. so wap the final drive (if thats possible) i dont know ---- about tranny internals hah

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

So since I ran a 13.84 with a dx tranny, I could technically say that I really ran a 13.34? Would you buy that?

(I'm trying to find a reason why I'm not wrong now) 8)


What about the costs, buddy? ;D

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

Since you didn't run a 13.3, you didn't run a 13.3 :P

If you would have upgraded your trans you would have ran a faster time. I'll bet your first born on that one.

^^^So if you win you get his kid??? You could just make children into "Trunk Monkeys" to do stuff for ya.

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

hahaha, that's like people at the track, dude I got 11's in the 1/8th mile. So that means if I double and devide it by 3, than times it by 1.8 (you know 1/8th mile you see) i get my quarter mile time... which is like 13.2!!!

YES!!!

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

I just recently switched to an EX tranny and it feels a bit quicker around town. The old tranny is on stand by when this one implodes.

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

yup that's why I took steve's old DX tranny, you can always use an extra.

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

You might need to buy a honda first, murdoc. :P

Re:EX & DX Trannys???
 

Thanks for the input guys... I'm actually buying an 89 hatch this weekend instead of the DX tranny.

I'll just get my EX fixed :o
