i have a 95 civic ex when i bought the car it had an ek center console it doesnt look or fit correct! now my question is can i use the center console from a four door and its an auto.( my car a five speed!)

just grab the center console from any 92-95 eg doesnt matter what model. if you use and auto console you wont have a shift boot. and your shifter would be utterly useless with the auto consol cause youd be able to use 3rd and 4th ha. unless you want to do something different and put a 94-01 DC integra dash and center console in your eg. youd need a custom harness. but there is diagrams, and a monkey could make one so its pretty easy. only downside.. no rear defrost. theres no built in relay in 94-01 harness so you could jsut hang the button behind the dash and reach for it. unless you wanted to wire in your own relay...

You will only be able to use 3rd and 4th... straight forward and straight back.. go to a junk yard and find the right one

no it's not. The center console has a straight slot because on an auto it slides straight forward and straight back. You need the one with a square hole, in short, no it will not work. On a side note, I just replaced my center console with one with an armrest so I happen to have a center console delete for a 92-95. will fit your 4 dr or your coupe. PM me if you're interested.

I was actually just now logging on to h-t to see if anyone knew from experience wether or not I could slip a 94-01 gsr centerconsole in there and keep the eg dash.

WTF are you guys thinking?! *ANY* '92 - '95 civic center console will work fine, other than the color all of them are identical That black center piece in the automatics is part of the shifter assembly, its not even attached to the console, the console just sits over the top of it. The shift boot is held in by 2 screws at one end, and the other end of the metal cage around the boot slides into the slots in the plastic console underneath. And for anyone whos wondering, yes I've used consoles from automatic civics in 5 speeds, numerous times.

in retrospect i have answered my own question

I am not sure about that. doing more research now because i believe he is going to need one like this

otherwise I do not believe he will be able to shift into 1st, 2nd, 5th, or reverse.

okay so i can basically just swap the shift boot from the ek one i have and put it to the auto one with no problem!i just didnt know if the wholes where the same size as far as auto and manual

Again, the leather boot is a seperate piece, the automatic shifter assembly is a seperate piece, the outer shell is the same in either case.

Edit, here some pics

Automatic shifter assembly with center console removed

Note that there is no shift boot in the second pic, an EG boot fits fine, we just didn't have one the day we did the auto to manual swap.

The holes are the same size between the automatic and manual versions, the shift boot however needs to come from an EG

okay thank you very much!!
