1997 civic tranny swap???
Ok Ive been outta the game for a long time so best to ask for help . I just got a 1997 Civic dx from a family member for my daughter who just turned 16. The trans is toast . I have a 1993 dx tranny sitting in the corner with 54000 on it from a swap I helped my friend with years ago. Will it work in/with the newer civic ? I took a real good look at the 2 trannys and theyre are a lot of differences . Sensors. no linear sensor. only 1 speed sensor on the tail of the 1993 tranny. They look to bolt up the same but after that they seem to be very different . If this wont work what trannys will work ? I don't want to get into a big project just something that is a bolt in situation . Thanks everyone .

With a manual trans 92-00 are basically interchangeable.
With an auto trans you have to stay within generation. 96-00 are electronically controlled and wont work in a 92-95 and vice versa.
You need a 96-00 trans if it's an auto.

True...it's actually dependant on the ecu, tranmission and engine. With an auto trans. they all have to match with the OP's chassis.
I was more answering the generic question of a 92-95 auto trans. in a 96-00 chassis the OP asked about.
