When I do a google search most of the results are related to American so I thought I would ask here..

Are there many differences between specs of L3 geaboxs in Australia?

Do JDM and AUDM crx gearboxs have different specs?
Is there much difference between an L3 with optional LSD besides having an LSD?
Do L3 gearboxs from crxs and ED civics have the same specs?

Thank you.

Plz no bully. k

Yes JDM and AUDM L3 gearboxes have different specs.

AUDM have longer gears and a shorter FD. The ZC JDM L3 has shorter gears, and a longer FD.

I'm running the gearset from JDM ZC with my AUDM 4.25 FD for a short ratio box.

An old write-up can be found here.

From memory a audm L3 from ed9 d16a8 Dohc has a same ratioa as ef7/ef3 L3 d16a8 Dohc zc with a 3.88 Fd
Which both above L3 box have three drive shafts
It from old wheels or motor mag review which sound the ratios

Aussie d15 sohc head L3 has different ratios with 4.25Fd

Can miss match gears to make a hybrid gearbox to get best of both worlds
