tranny differences question

- Tue Apr 07, 2009 1:42 am #108725 ok i just looked at the transmission specs on the d-series and wondered if there was a way to tell the difference between the dx manual and the cx/vx? it showed the same name on them just different gears. so yeah any help would be much appreciated.

your best bet is to get an old clutch. mark it. Place the mark at 12 o' clock

push the shift rod into the trans, putting it in 4th gear (0.853)
mark the differential.

the final drive is 3.25, 4th gear is 0.853

3.25 * 0.853 = 2.77225

it should take 2.77225 full revolutions of the clutch to make one full revolution of the differential.

so it should turn 2.77 times and end up pointing a little after 9'o clock to make one full revolution.

and of course make sure that the sstamp near the oil fill plug says a000 instead of b000.

serial numbers mean nothing.

also here's a link which has the different gear & final drive ratios:
