Default Will manual 88 crx hf transmission fit a 97 civic ex

ive searched hardcore for this topic and I havent found anything...someone help


My 97 civic ex has some tranny problems i need to replace the transmission for a while. until i can fix up the stock one. I have a friend with a 88 crx hf transmission "cable clutch" and i want to know how hard it would be to make that fit my civic "hydrolic clutch"

Im almost possitive everythign will fit rigth but i dont know about the flywheel clutch and crap.

basical.. will it fit without to much problem? what woudl i have to do

It's a pain in the *** to get it to work. Not only is the HF the longest transmission in the world, but you'd also have to get the cable to hydro conversion kit. Just find a 92-00 civic hydraulic transmission.

Good luck with it if you do decide to use it. You'll be wasting time and money IMHO. You can find a decent y7 transmission dirty cheap (I'll be selling mine to a local member of HT for 25 dollars as soon as I throw on my Y8 tranny) and you won't have to bother with the cost of the hydro/cable conversion kit (which can cost as much as a decent Y8/5th gen si/ex tranny, that have the shortest gearing for a 92-00).

Please don't use it. Get a Y8 tranny. If you really want fuel economy, find a 96-00 DX trans that will bolt right up.

You would also have to use a differn't clutch disk as the sline count is different. But it would be tight to cut a hole in your hood and setup a loop and pully system to the cable arm on that tranny. That way you could just pull a rope to disengage the clutch. It would be like lifting weights when driving.
