No, get the Hasport kit that allows you to use a Hydro tranny and lay off the caps.

Check this site out: http://hometown.aol.com/jrmupzaii/auto2man.html

You can also click on search and type in "auto" and select archived in the EF forum and you can see many results.

Hydro tranny's are way better. Honda "kinda" took care of the 2/3 gear synchro in the later generations which the hydros are part of.
