i was wondering if anybody has done a ls auto motor into a 92 civic sedan before. we are having problems with the transmission mount. the auto tranny is longer then the manual tranny and is hitting the body. has anybody done and auto bseries swap? thanks in advance.

not so civic

i have. if i can remember you will have to dent the side frame to get your clearance for the end of the tranny....oh yeah, i did have to bash the crap out of it. mine still rubbed a tad. yeah that auto is frikkin huge! i don't remember which upper tranny mount i used but i do remember that i didn't weld a new or old bracket to compensate for the correct height. i drilled out the two holes on the bracket between the original bolt hole and the base of the bracket. there is one hole and i drilled through and to the other end. use a nut and bolt. by doing that, you'll have to grind the tranny mount edges with a grinder to slide through the bracket closer to the frame. try and take a hard look to see what i'm talking about. if not, maybe you know how to weld and should just cut and reweld the og bracket. i hope you have the wire schematics for the tranny computer! there are about 30 wires to mess with. not too hard if you understand the basics. i still have my auto tranny computer and stuff like automatic intermediate shaft if you are in need. any other q's just e-mail or im alright. no one is going to help you but me on this one.

and you'll find it doesn't 'bolt in' as no matter which mounts you use. i used a combination of civic and integra ones. and some had to be grinded or cut. and may have to shim to get even motor install heights.

ok then, i guess i wont bother messing with the swap. i got a good deal on a ls motor/tranny/ecu to swap in my cousin's civic. he blew the motor but he doesnt really soup up cars. i guess ill just sell that motor and get him a d16. thanks for the info, you saved me more headaches.
