The trans for VTEC engine has different gear ratios than the other trans for non-VTEC engine

I think it will bolt together but I don't know if the computer would set fault codes because of gear ratios it isn't programmed for.
Mix-n-match-n-pray swaps aren't my bag.
Forum search?
Maybe someone else will chime in with better info?

We at dealers don't deal with mix/match/pray parts swapping.
If you wanted to purchase an absolutely correct replacement transmission selected using the VIN of your car, they would sell that to you in a heartbeat.
