95 Civic/B18B - B series auto-to-manual tranny swap
I've been looking all over for info and I can't find any specific to my situation. I have a 95 civic hatchback with a b18b swap with with an automatic transmission. The tranny is shot (only get 2nd and 4th gears, and no reverse) plus it shouldn't be an automatic anyway, so I was gonna do a swap. I'm about to buy a JDM Gsr manual trans with Lsd. Everything I've found said that should be ok, but I'm just making sure. What kind of problems will I face? The tranny in it now is cable and this new one is hydraulic. Also I know I'll need other parts like shifter, clutch, peddle, ect. So what parts need to come from a civic and which parts need to come from an integra? What other parts do I need? Would I need a knew starter as well? Is there any guide to putting a gsr LSD trans into a 95 civic with a b18b motor that is already automatic?

Re: B series tranny swap
Woah one question at a time. The trans will bolt up. You will need a new tranny mount. You will be fine with the hydro trans, that's what should be in a 95. Also your gonna need a clutch and flywheel kit. Since the car is auto, get an auto to manual trans mount from hasport. All the parts needed to do a auto to manual swap are in the FAQs that you need to read.
I'm dead tired so I'll touch up more in detail tomorrow. Hitting the sheets.

Re: B series tranny swap
Okay great info and lots of great stuff to read. This is my first project and I'm learning a lot. Another question I have is that the car (95 civic) was originally a manual. Now don't ask my why they would put an automatic in it but I want that out. Since the car was originally a manual would I still need all the conversion mounts?
