Well if u said it came with the trans then yeh its the wrong thing to say

Long block- no trans

Short block- no head or trans

Complete block- well u know....

even a complete block wont have a trans. say something like oh i got engine tranny ecu something like that so we know exactly what u have, or u can take a pic of it and we can tell u what u got

WELL THEN I'M RIGHT CAUSE I JUST MEANT I WILL WANT TO USE MY DX TRANNY. AND I SCREWED THE NUMBERS UP WITH MY MOTOR ITS A D16Z6.
