I have a 2001 Honda Civic Lx with a bad tranny.. My friend was telling me that there are two types of transmissions for this car, one of which is not so easy to find. In order to complete my senior project, I need to swap transmissions, but first I need help identifying it so I can know which one to purchase. Anybody know where I should start? Would a simple VIN# check help?

 

VIN will tell you year of manufacturing and model type, so you should be able to deduce what model transmission it is.

 

Post the VIN and I'll tell you what transmission should be in the car.

Regardless, it'll be one of the following: BMXA or SLXA automatic, or an SLW 5-speed manual.


I'm guessing the car is automatic since you mentioned "two types of transmission."




Matt, I just noticed that you moved this thread here. Where was it before?
