In truth, I suppose there is still a chance it could also be one or both of the front hub bearing units, even though they pass the test. But the trans definitely a problem. It has 200K miles on it, so I got my money out. I figure I'll remove it, rebuild it, experiment with swapping in my VX final drive into the DX tranny. In the mean time, the '93 CX trans will give me back my car.

I'm also curious what benefits the CX trans will give me. It is a 20% reduction in RPMs from my 6th gen DX coupe to the 5th gen CX. At freeway cruise that has to matter.
The cx trans is the same final drive as the vx. I'm turning 2100 or so rpm at 65.
