dead tranny

well it has come to a time where my tranny is shoot and i was wondering since i have an extra tranny if it would be the same it is a 5 speed out of a 98 lx my car is a 99 ex is the gearing going to be the same or even close about how much to rebuild a tranny or is there any tranny rebuild kits you kow of. the problem is it wound stay in second gear i believe the synchos are done for.what do you all think

im pretty sure the LX and EX use the same transmission, it's only the SI and Integra that use a closer ratio tranny

i believe.....the gearing in the lx and ex are diffrent....still bolts up though

:iagree:
Just a question, but if you have a spare tranny why rebuild the bad one? It would probally be cheaper to just junk the bad one and then, if you like having a spare, get another tranny.

the reason i would like to rebuild me tranny is because i dont know how good my spare is. also only one gear is bad on my tranny and i would like the exprience

Your right.

I would swap trannies rebuilt the EX one and swap again.

thanks ace i think your the only one with my point of view on this i know the other tranny will bolt up but i wasnt sure if the lx tranny gears where a bit more gas friendly compared to the ex being a bit sportier

Yes you got it down exactly. :smile:

The change isn't too drastic but the ex is a little bit shorter.

ace do you know how hard it will be to change out the synchos because i think thats all that is wrong be that it only grinds going into second and from what i hear some honda trannys are know for 2nd going out. also does anyone know where to buy a rebuild kit or just the synchos

rebuilding a tranny is a major headache. Tons of little parts and shit you have to keep track off. Make sure to have a few baggies laying around and a sharpie to mark them.
