Posted in the basement too...wanna know if this is a good buy before i throw down the cash.

$320 for a used JDM 5 speed tranny for my Civic EX.

Under 40k miles on it.

Good price?


Also, what differences btwn usdm and jdm tranny for the D series? I believe that all d series are the same

 

I wouldnt pay that
There shouldnt be any difference between jdm and usdm, but there is a difference in gearing between the y8/z6's and the y7/d15's

 

thanks for the gearing input.

What is a fair price for a tranny w/ that low of milage? He's charging the same price for usdm / jdm. just has more of those w/ lower milage.

 

well, there is one d-series tranny that came with a factory lsd, but there super rare. i have seen z6 and y8 trannies go for between 150-300 pending on milage. the y8s has a steel shift fork and i think the z6 is just aluminum, but i could be wrong. but, the y8 is a stronger tranny.
the gearing is damn near identical
