I'm looking into putting a stage 1 clutch in my car. (d15b8 block) I've heard a few different places that the SI trans is better than most. Is this out of any si? Or just from a del sol. As long as it's a d-series it should bolt up, I'm just wondering if it'd be worth it to do the trans swap with the clutch. Thanks

 

ive herd that si trans are good if you like to drive ,,short gear ratios (i think) which would make sense since the si is the sporty model ..

 

Hell yeah I like to drive... lol. I like my gears like I like my women.... tight. Anyways... sounds like a good swap to me.. along with the shortthrow I got the other day. Thanks for the info.

 

I've been looking into it, which trans would be better. For a d15 or for a d16 vtec? or are both transmissions the same for the si?

 

the si has closer gear ratios which allow for faster acceleration and are good for high rpm n/a motors. longer gearing like a cx trans is for better economy and a broader power band like in a turboed car

 

So I'm definitely goin with the si trans. So would that be the d16z6 vtec trans or the d15b... vtec trans? or would they be the same? Sorry if i'm confusing myself..

 

the EG si was a z6

 

wouldnt an ex tranny be just about as good?

 

i believe a jdm d15b tranny came with an lsd so that might be worth checking into

 

are you sure? i herd at hond's launch of the new si, that this is the first time lsd has came with a civic
