Looking at buying a car for my girlfriend, a 1993 Civic EX 5 spd, and I have a friend who has a 96 hatch DX, and I was wondering if everything will fit or bolt right up without too much modifications. How about the ECU, will that work? THanks in advance.

BTW, I did the search already

 

Hmmmm...so what you want to do is turn the 5-speed into a automatic, and the automatic car to 5-speed? Or swap the whole engine between the two?

 

the manual->auto isn't too difficult from what I hear, but the reverse is going to be a pain.

 

In some states it's illegal to swap an older motor into a newer car...

but the swap is straigt forward barring the auto ->manual conversion.

for that you need to install the pedal set (which from what i hear sucks and can be a real pain itb). and I believe you need a special mount as the stock auto tranny sits lower or higher than the manual...

I think place racing makes the auto to manual coversion bracket.... not positive though.

 

you cannot use ecu's in either car unless you get a conv. harness

 

LoL, it's actually a Manual ~~~~> Auto, it's my girl's car, she doesn't want a 5 spd,

Yeah, I sorta knew the ECU woudln't work, but the actual mounting points and linkages will fit??

 

NO...

as far as I know the only mount switching kit they make is to go from auto to manual... not vice versa.

 

hit me up if you need info on this.

 

sorry to steal your post, but im just now in the process of auto ------>manual changeover, i was wanting to know must the auto be in neutral to take out? and is their a kit you can but to put the pedals is....because it does look like a bitch to do..thanx
