Icon6 Transmission Swap...

95-Del Sol-Auto

Hello everyone, I need help with my transmission. When driving somewhat aggressive, and shifting from 2-3 the car revs up for a second and then back down. It also doesn't go anywhere when I press down on the gas all the way.

So my questions is this, since my transmission is going, what kind of transmission should I look for? I've supplied a picture of my engine. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Asks about a transmission. Shows pic of an engine. Can't explain that.

Is this a trick question?

No, I'm just not familiar with Honda parts. Reason I show my engine and ask about a transmission is because I found a guy selling one but it was for a B16a? And I don't have that engine.

And by the way, forums are a place to get answers but more importantly to learn. If your going to be a smart *** than stay off my post. If you don't feel like helping someone in need go some place else. Help a new member of your great community. Don't instantly put them down. And if I didn't do something correctly, tell me. Don't mock me.

Then learn to grow a thicker skin of you're going to start helpless posts on a forum that are bereft of all common sense.

The answer is pretty friggin' simple. Get the exact transmission that's in your car RIGHT NOW so it can be plug and play. You don't have a B16? DON'T BUY A TRANSMISSION FOR A B16!!! You don't have to know Hondas to figure that one out do you?

THAT is a better question. Lead with that next time.
Let's start off with the fact that you have a D-series engine so you need a transmission for a D-series engine. It's an automatic transmission in there now so you need an automatic transmission for a D-series engine.




Now go out and see if you have any markings on your transmission that look like this. Example shown is for a manual.

Do years have to be matched? How about chassis? Can a 93 EH9 auto be replaced with a 95 EJ1's automatic? what if I find a d16z6 del sol automatic, will that work or no?

Thank you for that.

So I don't have that marking. I looked. But I do have this bar code. Does this help? If so, what does it tell me?

S24A. Next time look a little harder before you say there are no markings.

You should be able to use any automatic (s24a) transmission from any 92-95 civic. <FIXED>

95 Del Sol with a ZC motor and the S24A automatic tranny mated to it.

OP has provided quite a fair amount of pertinent information and is still getting snipped at unjustly in my opinion. Some people may need to go be pissed off somewhere else for a bit.

OP I believe you need to stick to the 92-95 year range S24A transmission. Or if you are up for it, do the manual transmission swap. It's a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. Any 92-95 D-series manual would complement the engine nicely. EX/SI being the performance orientated manuals and CX/DX/VX being the economy based manuals. That's assuming you don't mind driving a standard transmission.
