is the D17 transmission compatible with the rest of the d series motors? aka D17 2002 transmission on a d15b7 1993 motor?

No, different bolt patterns.

interesting... does anyone have any pics of the 01-05 transmissions?

I really can't confirm or deny the bellhousing bolt pattern, but I can tell you they shift completely differently (cable shifter, like an accord/prelude/K-series) and the mount locations and bolt patterns are most likely not the same as older D-series trannys.

Thats why i wanted to know about it. currently developing a kit car utilizing solid works 09 that uses the honda drive train thats most common, the D series, and building from there so aftermarket mounts for h, f, b, k, and J series are compatible.

the cable trans would be perfect, i.e. no solid linkage to work out, cable driven only.

My friend has a D17A engine, mounted in a D15B tranny. Fits perfect.

Pics of the setup:




Don't laugh, it's a pretty funny car, totally rat looking, FPR tuned, DSM injectors, E100 and IAT trick to change ign timing.

frankenstein.... works though.. still no pics of the transmission?

victor.ek4

its D15B.

And fits perfectly

okays... how about some pics of the d17 transmission??

d15 and a d16 trans will not fit on the d17 block the only thing that transfers over is the clutch and flywheel.

and that pic I don't know what it is up with it first you can't see the trans at all with the rats nest. the chassis is not an 01-05 civic it has a y-8 mani on never seen that turbo mani. that car has been so mdified to make things work that even if he has a d15/16 trans on it there is a very good chance the bell housing has been modified to make it fit on the car.

cause if the d15/16 trans fit a lot more of us would be running it. and some of us have already tried

i want to see a pic of the trans OUT of the car, not in it. and i want to see the bolt pattern, it seems ther is much more debate about this than was previously relized...

bomerman19

I have tried putting them together they don't fit with out serious modification

xero_xero

not that i am downing of our experience or knowledg, but i am a see it and believe it person.. sorry. or look at it like this.. i learn it the hard way...

Hah, learn it the hard way and get yourself a 01-05 EX tranny and try to bolt it onto a D15/16 or vise versa. You'll learn the hard way there.

Get a tranny that goes with the motor and don't waste your money trying too.

xero_xero

Anyone have anything useful like a pic with the bolt parrtern???

hondamark35

there are a few pics in this for sale thread..
doesn't look like the typical D-series trans bolt pattern... but, like you i would want to try it first hand to be sure.

xero_xero

that was pretty close to what i needed.. thanks...

xero_xero

Some images i robbed off ebay... verry verrry close...

hondamark35

that's a convincing side by side. good find

that's enough to get me out looking in the junk yard for a cheap block or clutch housing/transmission to test fit.

jerm__

Would be cool if the D15B tranny fit the D17's...

Igaly

d17's are mad wierd....some d-series part fit and some k-series part fit

xero_xero

if the d15b trans fits, i have a cable setup that will run the transmissions, that way no rod linkage. it just needs to be refined quite a bit...

Gt limited(jdm approved)

jdm d15b might fit 2001-2005

xero_xero

anyone in Atlanta have a d17 they wouldnt mind lending to a project for an hour or 2? if it fits then we know.

bomerman19

did you not read what I posted earlyier I tried sticking a d15 trans to the d17 block it does not fit

facepalm!
