hi all , my 96 cx d16y7 auto trannie is a dogger , is it possible to find a ex or si auto trans 4 a swap? and would i need the ecu?or any suggestions would be great,thx,,i know ,i know go man,,so besides that suggestion any others ,lol, thx

 

wat do u mean dogger? why dont swap to standard?

 

Well, an ex tranny would do you good, but you might as well just swap in a whole y8 (ex) engine. The Si's did not come in automatic. I'm not too familiar with the CX, but I imagine it has the same tranny that the lx and dx share. Best bet, get the y8.

 

i say spend a lil more and swap in a manual IMO

ok the si doesnt come in man but wat about the ex? is the gear ratio different? ,and cause its easier 4 me right now to put in a auto,with bettr gaerin then a full swap,,but yes im lokkin at the y8 swap very soon. thx

 

Z6 > Y8.

 

z6 uinstead of the y8? is that wat ur sayin? . k, but is the ex auto trans betr or different then the dx? thx

 

Yeah, the Z6 is better than the Y8 imo. I couldn't tell you for a 6th gen auto. For the 5th gen tho they're almost identical.

 

so if i put in a y8 to keep same obd,,do i have to change the ecu? ,? wil it be lookin 4 the v-tec ? cause the y7 doesnt hav one.does the ecu change the gears on an auto,or is it off vacune? thx

 

If you swap your motor to a Y8, I think it will still run on the Y7 ECU, but not well. Vtec won't work and the fuel/timing maps won't be ideal. If you just change the tranny you won't need to change the ECU.
