ok lets start with the fact that i know just about nothing about hondas as i have owned rx7's ok so here is my question i have a 97 lx with a d16y7 and the transmission is done according to the trans shop that its at and they want almost 1700 bucks to replace it 800 of which is for a used trans so my question is what transmissions are compatible with the engine so that all that needs to be done is just bolt it up and i can put on down the road

 

never mind just bought a S20 b000 now i just have to hope that it bolts up without any modifications

 

Manual trans? Any '92 - '00 Civic manual trans except Si will bolt up and work.

 

yeah its a manual trans 1997 honda civic lx with a d16y7 i got this on the way to my transmission shop now

That will work fine, but it's way more than I'd spend. You can usually find these things for $150 or less. from someone parting out a Civic on Craigslist.

 

necessity is the mother of all inventions... i didnt have time to search the forum or locally to find one and its still cheaper then the 800 bucks that the transmission shop wanted to charge me

 

What state do you live in? 490 in southern california area

 

804 just south of richmond va

 

wow just got my car back from the trans shop and holy **** theres a huge difference between the stock trans and the one that replaced it i was grinning from ear to ear the entire way home. next on my agenda is going to be a mini me swap and getting some vtec going

 

can i get a mob to please lock/delete this thread thanks

 

Using an EX/Si trans is the single best thing you can do for a D-series.

Nope, it'll sit here as is to help anyone else in the future.

 

yeah that makes sense well onto the next thing to be done to my lil engine that could a y8 head swap complete with a p2p ecu
