There is no difference stamped on the tranny.

I believe dx's are 4 spd not positive though.

Actually, the DX & Si trannies have the same gearing. What makes them different is the final drive ratio in the Si.

There is a way to tell the difference. check here and head for the tranny info --> http://www.d16a.com

Edit - wtf...that site is down

Well...there is a way and it has something to do with the markings on the casing of the tranny...maybe someone here knows?

Re: How to tell the Si tranny apart from dx and hf?

im trying to find the pic on how to test to see what gearing it has...

EDIT- no luck, only place i know has the way to see what gears you have by spinning the input shaft and seeing where the axles end up, is www.d16a.com which is currently down.
