b16 swap help: auto chassis to 5spd swap
OBD-2a Chassis (96-98 civic)
I know this is a really retarded question and probably already has been answered? But i only found the ones for D-series tranny conversions. I am gonna go b-series and need to do a tranny conversion so I was wondering what I would need besides the general basics to do a tranny conversion and motor swap.
These are the list of parts I already have:
-B16 cable tranny
-Axles/halfshaft
-Ecu
-Driver side post mount and bracket
-EWH (I got my ex EWH and another EWH that came with the swap that was OBD-2 but needs to jump the altenator plug since the altenator is OBD-1)
Parts soon to obtain:
-99-00 si t-bracket
-99-00 si Top tranny bracket
-Front tranny torque mount/bracket
-Front A/c torque mount????(is this required?)
-B-series motor mounts.
-Pedal, clutch master&slave cylinders, lines.
But I also wanted to know if I have to get the innovative hydro-to-cable bracket/mount kit and if that would just replace the si tranny bracket.
Thank you :]

EDIT:
I am planning to convert to 5spd the same time when i do the swap too! JS

Re: b16 swap help: auto chassis to 5spd swap
You need an aftermarket upper transmission mount to use the cable tranny. My personal advice would be to just buy a hydro tranny, those conversion kits never work right.
Front torque mounts? Do you like breaking motor mounts? If not run torque mounts.

Liek the previous poster said you would be better off running a hydro tranny, all the parts are there off of most any civic donor car or junk yard. Holes are in the firewall for the master cylinder, and everything. just my .02$

Re: b16 swap help: auto chassis to 5spd swap
is it possible for me to use my a/t rear mount though? i honestly do not see a difference what so ever. i heard it sits differently but is it that bad that it is not functional?
