Is it possible to do a 1991 dx 4 speed to 1992 cx 5 speed tranni swap?

Thanks for the help!

I don't think so because I'm pretty sure that the cx tranny would be a hydro tranny and all the 4th gen trannys are cable. Also, if you have a 4spd tranny, you have a Std model Civic, not a DX. The DX had a 5 spd.

anything is possible with custom fab'd parts. not worth it in this case though. i have seen hydro trannies in cable clutch cars though. there's a DA here with a full b18c5 swap including tranny.

DX is a 5-speed a STD is a 4 speed, it matters because the DX has the same hubs as a Si and the STD has the same smaller hubs as the HF. It matters because of Axels. If you really have a STD and Not a DX you won't have the hubs you need for most swaps and the axels will be different. and the CX I believe is a hydrolic. can't see why you would go through that however, A DX trans has got to be about the same price as the kit to swap a hydrolic trans in a cable car. if you were swapping in something with ***** then it would make sense to do that.

there was a post a long time ago with, it was about a guy doing this. not a STD to a cx hydro. but a full hydro conver. he has it all layed out with pix. this must have been a year ago.
but it is able to be done. i might try to do it in a year or so, if i stick with SHOC.
the guy on that post bought all new parts and has them listed, if you could find that post or the guy that wrote it you would be stocked!!!
i would like to see this done again. and also it is possible. just kinda a pain in the a$$. SEE YA.
