Ok my tranny is DEAD!

It no longer goes in to 3rd gear!

My question is, if I get an 04 (EX) tranny...

Is the "gearing any different on the 04" compared to my "old 02 EX tranny?"

The search button tells me NO! But I would like to hear that from some of the people who have an 04 tranny on their 02's.

Any difference AT ALL????

Well thanks;

Too any advice anyone can give me for this next endeavor I will be facing.

There is no difference but I'm pretty sure that they are made better. Still weak none the less but better than 01-02

Ok stronger.

Ummm do you have any evidence to back this up?

Or are you just assuming that Honda got its act together in 03 & made the tranny "better" or "stronger."

I guess my point is do you think in 2003 Honda decided to make trannys different then they did in 2002??

any incite anyone??????

I do belive that gearing is the same from all the EX civics from 01-05. I know that the gearing is different from the DX/LX manual trannies compared to the EX. There are really two benefits to getting an 04 transmission - Better schyncros and it's most likely to have less miles on it then any 02 tranny you would be able to find. Maybe now would be a good time to get an aftermarket clutch as well

LOL^ ya honder you know the whole story!

I found an 04 EX tranny for $450.

DHL will ship it to my house for $100.

But I wanted some in put from 7th gen!

have u tried putting syncro mesh in there for now to at least see what happens.. i have had b-series trannys go bad and a little syncro mesh helped fix that tproblem..?? FYI

Damn, sorry that happend to you dude. On the bright side a new transmission is a very good thing.

I do believe the syncros are fvcked to say the least.

Im just tired of this tid bit ****. If its not this its that.

So on & so forth.

Thanks for the heads up. I think im gona get the tranny & just keep in it in my garadge.

Im still driving the car. It still "somewhat" goes into gear.

Can I cause any more damadge to my car by driving it like this?

Thaks tragedy, I agree.

Yes, you can damage it more. If the schyncros wear down to the point where they break, that can spell the total end for your tranny. Little pieces of crap floating around in the oil is quite bad for the gears. If I were you, I'd try to avoid third all together

 
Rep Power: 313

Well **** I dont care if I heart my little tranny!

Im more worried about the engine or any other part...

 
Rep Power: 347

Well if you wanted to be able to drive it until you got the new tranny you would take care of it

 
Rep Power: 297

well.. if your still driving it.. hell just drain ur tranny fluid and put in some syncro mesh.. it will help it out a bit.. at least make it easier to drive... then if you can find one at ur local store put in a magnetic tranny drain plug... these are all cheap things you can do in like 30 minutes

 
Rep Power: 313

Thanks I will do that!^^^

Will the 05 tranny will bolt up just like the 01,02,03,04??

I assume yes! I just want some reassurance.
