I need to change my clutch and swap my transmission in my 1991 Base Model Civic. My clutch release bearing sounds terrible and makes clutch release inconsistent, and the syncros grind into 3rd sometimes and 4th often as well as slips out of 4th all the time while i'm just driving down the road. These problems suck.

I want to change my clutch and trans, and I want to upgrade to a 5 speed. I went to the local u pull it and they don't even have a single 88-91 civic trans besides the shitty automatics. Anyhow I did see a DA 90-93 LS integra that still had it's 5 speed and the axles, spindles and brakes. Would all of this transfer over to my car? I know from my research the brakes will but I can't find anything about the transmission bolting up to my D15B1 or the trans mounts lining up, or the linkage will connect?.

 

umm no, b series and d series trannies are different in alot of aspects.
and a bseries tranny wont mount to a d series block

 

my bad, I didn't even think about the fact that it's a b- series.

however the older integra 86-89 uses a d series engine right? I know that engine has different mounts than civics, but I wonder if that transmission will work? thanks

 

not sure it might mount up to the engine but the tranny mount spots are different i believe

The D16A1 trans can "work", but it's not worth the hassle IMO.

 

get on craigslist and search around for one. im sure you could find one from an si for like a hundred bucks or around that. then put a new clutch and bearing in. only bad thing is you never know if it would have the same problem with bad synchros.
oh and if you went to gapco, they never have anything good. which yard did you go to ( i see your in gso)
