is it possible in a EJ? hmotors has one but i was wondering what it involves?

98civdx

yes and no. yes you can, but good luck it has been done, but they have never ran right.
you will have to cut/dent frame rail, do the wiring, and find a way to get the thing to shift right.

what year ej??

supposedly the tranny doesn't fit with our US frame rails.

98civdx

^^ it doesnt, thats why i said youll have to cut and dent it

d4rk13l4de

its a 1993 dx Hmotors said i woul dhave to bend the frame rails but i guess the auto p30 that comes with it has the trans controller already in it, he said there was no extra wiring from what i was told

98civdx

hmm it will be a hell of alot easier to do this then in the 96-00 witch THEY wont fit w/out major modification

it has acuttly been done is those year cars, with out major modification..
the reason why i said the wiring will be different is because they way the civic auto tranny is controlled its totaly different then a integra... it may be easier if you pick up a auto integra harness.

it may be easier to do the 5 speed swap lol

ALLxMOTOR EG

The auto tranny is bigger then the manual tranny thats for sure.

d4rk13l4de

he did say it was out of a civic if im not mistaken

98civdx

it will be eaiser to do a 5spd swap,
autos are way bigger then a 5spd.
he siad that because in other counrtys, there were auto b series civics, just we never got them.

Theres your answer. When it comes right down to it theres very little involved with an auto to manual swap on a '92 - '00 civic if you are already swapping the engine and tranny anyway, its basically just bolting stuff into place, the hardest part of it is that some of the bolts are in akward places. It is far, far easier than trying to keep the car an automatic.

thanks guys

I wouldnt bother doing a swap in an automatic, im sorry but you should sell your ride and get a manual and THEN do a swap.

94EG8

Meh, clean straight rust free 5th gen civics are getting hard to come by with a 5 speed. Its sometimes easier and cheaper to just find a good automatic shell and swap it to a manual. I'd far sooner do an auto to manual swap then bodywork, others may think differently.

d4rk13l4de

i do have a very clean dx auto, and the auto to manual swap is not that hard if you do it right

98civdx

^^its pretty hard to do it wrong lol
the hardest part is putting new paddles in, ITS A BITCH haha

d4rk13l4de

lol very true, that and finding all the parts
