Im Working on my girls 91' honda civic sedan auto, i want to put a LS motor (b18a/b) swap into the car and keep it automatic because she dosen't know how to drive stick. I have hasport mounts for b series swap w/ cable trans... I am just trying to find out if the auto trans mount is the same as the manual trans mount. Or evan if the trans will fit in the 88-91 chassis, before i go and gut my beater integra...

Any help or insight would be great.......

The Hasport mount won't work. While the manual transmission is roughly conical in shape, the automatic is more cylindical. On other words, it doesn't get smaller as you go away from the engine. For this reason, the manual transmission mount won't work. For that matter, you will have to fabricate the entire passenger side of the engine compartment since the automatic transmission is just too big. The bottom line: unless you are up for some SERIOUS custom fabrication of the engine bay, learn to drive a manual transmission or stick with D-series.

 

Hey thanks for the insight, That is around the same thoughts i was having... Thats why out side opions are always better than one. Me and the performance shop i work at never attempted to make a car auto, its always the other way around... Im sure i can figure this one out... I do all there custom fab... thanks again...
