If I swap in another D-series engine into my 92 Civic DX auto (sedan), could I keep my auto transmission that is in there now? I'm looking to get the D16Z6 motor or a D15B.

Thanks,
-Brian.

 

yes you will be able to keep that tranny. you will have to take the flywheel off the new motor if it was a manual trans car and then put on the plate for the torque converter and then the converter which i assue you have on your current DX motor. you will need a different ECU if you run a vtec motor. idk if they make an auto vtec motor????somebody correct me but i have never seen one?????? help this guy out

 

also it isnt that hard to do the manual swap and you will love it.

Yes you are totaly right. And yes they do make a auto vtec ECU, I got one of 92-95 EX coupe.

 

Thanks again you guys.

Whew, you're gonna get pretty sick of me asking questions before June.

I might attempt the manual swap later though. Lohatch, you keep tempting me!!!
