ep3 type r box in a dc5??

[paul 16v]

Quick question.. will a ep3 gearbox fit a dc5?? I ask because i bought a 250bhp ctr yesterday and it has reconditioned gearbox with a lsd in it and it is such a good smooth box... As i may break the car if i can't fix the intermittent imobilser fault i might strip the car .. if i do i'd keep the box as a spare for mine if it will fit.?

thanks paul

Yes it will fit.

It will most likely have slightly different gear ratios though.

Do you know what LSD is fitted?
It could actually have a DC5 box fitted you see..

Cheers stu.. apparently it has a jdm civic type r diff in a uk box?? So likely same diff as a dc5?

Yeah. Same diff.
