Default A question about D-series transmissions

I can't remember if I've posted on this forum about the transmission problems I'm having, but I basically need to replace the 5-speed tranny in my 1996 Civic HX.

I have found one I'm considering getting, but it's from a hatchback (a '98), and it's a d16y7. I would think that this transmission would work, but I wanted to check and make sure that the hatch tranny will be fully compatible. The only reason I ask, is a website I use to search parts asks me to specify if I need a coupe/sedan transmission or a hatchback transmission. I wouldn't know why I would need to specify, unless it's an oversight.

So, will this transmission work for me?

If the tranny is from a 98 and you have a 96 then it should bolt right in without problems since it's a D-series tranny.

Gear ratio's may differ slightly but it will bolt up and work without fail.

I thought the HX 5spd tranny is geared higher for fuel economy. A little higher than the DX tranny.

dx/lx trannys have pretty long gears to begin with. and I've run even against stock hx's....
