Hello everyone,

I need some help please.

I have a functional 94 del sol 5 speed manual transmission (A000 series) that I want to put it into a 94 civic ex with a B series 5 speed manual transmission (my first gear is grinding). Is this a doable swap?

Thanks,

Les

Are you asking whether you can mate a B-series engine with a D-series transmission?

I was hoping that I could replace my existing tranny on my civic ex 1.6, which the first gear is starting to grind and my clutch just went out, with a tranny from my del sol 1.5 to save from buying another tranny. The del sol tranny is a left over from my daughter's crashed del sol. The clutch is the same on both trannys. But, I didn't know if there would be any complications with the bolt pattern or any tranny support parts.

Since you're not answering it directly if you are attempting to bolt on a D transmission to a B engine (or vice verse) it will not work without spending money on an adapter plate setup (very costly).

Thank you for your response.

My engine on the civic ex is a D16Z6 with a 5 speed manual transmission, series no. S20 B000.

The del sol engine is a D15B7 with a 5 speed manual transmission, series no. S20 A000

The clutch sizes are identical.

So my question is: will the del sol tansmission from a 1.5 engine fit on a civic ex 1.6 engine?

Both are D series engines,

trannys are:
del sol A000 series
civic EX B000 series

I believe the swap will work, but the gearing of the two transmissions is different. The EX transmission is the best match for the D16Z6.

Thank you all for your help...I appreciate your time!

D series tranny will not bolt up to the B series block...unless you go spending some money on a D2B kit...which it will be pointless

Thank you for reading the thread. /sarcasm

Yes it will work, but the gearing will longer.

Your title is misleading than. THE ANSWER IS NO its not possible to do a straight replacement.

The title isn't misleading but some of the first post is. What the OP wants to do is very doable. He does not have a B-series transmission, what he's been referring to as a B-series transmission is an EX/Si D-series B000 (Big Bearing) transmission which I'm surprised no one seems to be picking up on.

My bad

Title misleading from subject

are you parting out the Del Sol?
