I don't know that this swap is possible. The B-series automatic transmission is, after all, quite big. I don't know if it will even fit. Or what kinds of modifications it will take to make it fit, provided there is enough room. Also, depending on the year, there could be issues with the mounts. With a 1988-1991 Civic, for instance, a mount kit is needed. And there is no mount kit available for automatic swaps.

I have a 1992 civic dx hatch with an automatic ls-vtec in it. You need the rear engine bracket from an auto integra, you have to bang on the fender wall where the alternator goes for proper clearence. But other ther than that it should fit fine.

How does the auto tranny hold up with LS/Vtec? I'm kinda interested in doing a Rs/Vtec, but I don't know if I wanna screw with the tranny yet.

Interesting! But it seems like too much work since i have to get all the mounts from the 94+ Integras.
