Default 1.6 sohc swap

I have a civic cx with the 1.5 engine manual tranny and i am swapping to a 1.6 sohc vtec and i was wondering if the tranny from the 1.5 will bolt right on to the 1.6 engine? Also the 1.6 was an automatic and is there any mods i have to perform to allow the clutch and fly wheel to fit on the 1.6? Please help thanks

hey buddy i believe its a direct bolt job, since most D-Seires parts are interchangeble... but its best to use a vtec gearbox with your motor due to the lower gear ratio's... this is if your looking at a performance point of view..

yes you will have to run all the wires necessary for the vtec.
