I am wanting a transmission for my 99 Civic Ex (D16Y8). Something that is geared lower to run better in an 1/8th mile but good for daily driving as well. What kinda of transmission would fit my needs.
thanks,
Jesse

 

hey i was wondering if yours is auto, and is the gearing different in the y8 then say a di16y7? my cx tranny is so slow,, thx

 

the z6 tranny "might" be lower gearing by a little bit than the y8 tranny

 

^ It's not. Y8 is the lowest manual.

 

^ +2 it's the lowest ^

 

5th gen si tranny may-be? but as far as I know you have the best one

 

5th gen si will have a shorter 5th than the y8 tranny........really your only option is to go custom. theres no stock honda transmission available to you with a close gearset aside the pbd1 dohc zc tranny. but it has a taller final drive. you could take the y8 1-2 as well as final drive and couple it with the dohc zc 3-5 for a close 2-3 shift.
