getting a 92-95 jdm d15b soon and i was gonna bolt it to my auto tranny and save up for a 5speed conversion but i was looking on HMO and came across a d15b lsd auto tranny and decided to check it out.
does anyone know if this is a good tranny for auto, is it worth the $375?

for 375 you could pretty much have your five speed swap. why set yourself back?

Auto is for chumps and people who are physically disabled. Like, if you had only one leg. MT Non-LSD >> AUTO LSD.

Sure. People call it the D16Z6 or just "Z6". Also, "Si", since it was also in the Si Hatchback.

If you mean JDM D15B with VTEC, then yes. Be careful, those JDM motors have names that are confusing, and a lot are named the same thing but have different configurations. You need to LOOK at the motor to see if it's the one you want. Don't just go by the name alone. You've been warned.

an Si is slightly different from an EX tranny. the Si has a shorter fifth gear.

ex/si trannys have B000 stamped on the and others have A000
