like it says in the title, just how different are these two transmissions? im getting a deal on a freshly rebuilt trans from a d15b lx eg sedan for $60. i know the ex/si transmissions are known to be 'better' but by how much?

thanks

it's not THAT bad!!!!!!!

Only about .4 seconds...........but for $60 and if it is done right, perfect backup.

Dan Phan community Trans has saved MANY people while I rebuilt theirs. I paid $50 shipped from Cali......he couldn't have made and money and taught me the basics of how to pack a tranny for shipment.

nothing at all when you have 3-4 ZC gearing sets laying around and all i do is just swap the gearings. but the 4.250FD i like if i can only get my hands on a 4.4FD or a 4.5FD.

so the final drive in my '00 CX tranny is 4.058? and the rest of the gears are the same?

Not sure about a dx but do not get a cx tranny, they are junk and extremely long gears. I used to have one on my mini me setup was running 12's in the 1/8, switched to an ex and ran 10/9 on the same track, same wheels, just different tranny.
