Ok, so I have a 1st gen B16A, and I'm looking to buy a 96-00 hatchback, but I have a S1 cable tranny, so I wont be able to use that on the hatch, my question is will ANY hydraulic tranny bolt directly onto my engine, or is there anything different about 1st gen motors or JDM motors that would make it so that certain transmissions wont bolt up?

 

If want to use a Hydro Transmission you can use any B Series transmission. You will also have to use a clutch for a hydro transmission.

 

you will need new mounts for the A1 motor..

A1 mounts and A2+ mounts are different..

i would toss that S1 tranny in the dump..

Smaller gears/syncro's and pure junk.. honda does not sell parts for them..
but i've seen cable trannies in hydro cars.. get a welder


any vtec/none vtec FWD (not AWD CRV) will bolt up

 

ok, well I have mounts that were on my previous crx, those will work righ? Also any b series hydro tranny will work, so I dont have to worry about having to find a specific one?

 

no..

you will need different mounts for the 96

motor side and car side

 

Ok, I'll read into that a little bit more then, thanks

 

u can use the cable tranny is u get the cable to hydro conversion...and u would need a 99-00 SI rear L bracket, and driver side bracket

 

sell the cable tranny, it seems like there are a lot of people looking for those

 

Ok I'll keep that in mind, but I thought that the cable to hydro conversion kit was to install a hydro transmission in a car that came with a cable one...that's just what I thought though, I didnt actually verify

 

cable to hydro conversion, puts a cable tranny in a car that originally had a hydro tranny

 

Ok, cool, are they reliable? Like the hasport one? Also, is it even worth it to use my S1 tranny, or should I go the extra effort and find a good hydraulic one?
