Any problems with DX tranny mated to EX motor?
I have a friend that just bought a 92 Civic DX. I let him get my extra 93 Ex Civic motor (1.6 SOHC VTEC) and ECU. He doesn't have the cash at this time to get an EX or Si tranny. I know the tranny will bolt up but will it cause any problems. I told him the gear ratios were different and the car would probably top out faster but that is about it for my knowledge. I also told him the tranny wouldn't be able to sustain constant abuse of driving it hard because of the increased hp. What are some other issues with the DX 5speed tranny mated to the EX motor with the VTEC hooked up?
