Kinda irritates me cuz I been reading it a lot and think I can do it. But eh.maybe the shop will let me watch if they do end up putting in.either way I pray I snagged an epic VX trans
The CX tranny I have is the same as the VX, and I like it. If you criise a lot on the highway (no P&G) you are going to love this one especially.

I did the swap. It was difficult for me (never having done anything like it before). I got help with the toughest stage (actually detaching and installing the trannys).

Look on the bell-housing for P20-A000, and if tyou see that you know at least that you have a VX, CX, or DX tranny). If you have the P20-B000 then you are looking at an Si or EX tranny.

BTW, the link to gear ratios posted a few posts back has an error in the 88-91 HF listing: they put the final drive numbers in for reverse and seem to have completely wrong numbers for the HF final drive. Small deet.

Good luck!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
