I searched and searched and searched again, didn't find anything..

I have a 94 AUT del Sol with a SOHC motor, I just bought a 95 Civic Si manual tranny and want to know what tranny mount do I need to use. Some say I need an (EGAMH) Hydraulic Manual Transmission Mount for Automatic Chassis from hasport for example but isn't this mount for when you are installing a B-Series in the chassis or do I need it even if it's a d series tranny? Or can I use an OEM manual tranny mount from a civic or del sol?

 

Correct me if im wrong, but i think that mount works for both b and d series transmissions. That mount would be required to put a manual trans into an automatic chassis.

The manual mount is the same for either B or D. It is the bracket on the frame of the EG's are different from manual to automatic. You would need a mount that is meant for a manual tranny in an automatic chassis.

Hasport and a couple others make this mount.

Thanks for clearing that up, I've seen the Hasport EGAMH mount, what other companies offer a mount for this?

 

I believe a new mount company called innovative also carries the mount. I don't know anyone thats tried these mounts yet so I don't know if the fitment will be as good as Hasport, but from the pictures on their site they look excellent. Heres their site:

Thanks Sal, I am looking at the site..

Another question, the tranny I purchased has the shift linkage of the Civic Si attached to it, are these plug and play or do i need another shift linkage probably from a manual del Sol or are both shift linkages the same?

I checked my car and I see no mounting points for ANY shift linkage either, anyone know where or at what exact point should I mount the linkage to the chassis?

Sorry for all the questions I just want to gather up all the parts and info needed for the tranny swap so the time the car is stopped will be minimal..

 

As far as i know the shift linkage should be plug and play assuming the shift linkage is out of a 92-95 Si. As for mounting it, one end mounts onto the trans, and the other end mounts right above where your exhaust runs, right below where the shifter sits inside the car.

Thanks, lots of these questions come to me cause a friend was swapping an obd2 ls motor in his aut del sol, and had problems with the shift linkage, too short or the needed to have a curve to get to the hole in the chassis..

 

Actually I forgot that the car was auto when i posted that, ive never put shift linkage into an automatic chassis and am not positive if everything will bolt up the same. Hopefully someone elso one here has and can chime in.

I imagined it wasn't going to be easy, hopefully someone will have the exact info I need and will help me out, you have also been helpful, thanks

 

Any d-series 92+ civic linkage will work. Just install everything and then drill holes so that the stabilizer bushings can bolt down to the floor hump.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

 

yes every hydro bracket, and master and slave cyl, and linkage will bolt up. there are provisions for all of this. you do however, have to drill the holes for the 12mm bolts that mount the end of the shifter/bushings, but just drill in the center of the two holes that don't go all the way through the sheet metal floor right behind the shifter.

I am getting the master and slave and clutch pedal from a 94 del Sol, the line that goes from the master to the slave also, all I need to do is drill the holes for the linkage then?

 

yes. make sure you get all the soft and hard hydro lines. or you can just fit the master and slave with -an fittings and run a braided line. besides drilling for the linkage, you also have to bridge the park position wires on the shift switch or actual plug. and bridge the reverse wires so you have back up lighting.

Hadn't thought about that.. I will be taking all I can out from the donor Sol especially the line, for the shifter to be able to enter all the gears will it be necessary to open up the hole on the floor also?

 

nothing else to mod for the shifter/linkage besides drilling the bushing mount holes...you will notice you will need to be crafty to seal the gaping hole that is gonna be there around the shift lever. you actually have too much room for the shifter with the eg auto to manual. in a ek chassis, you do have to remove metal so you can mount the shifter and linkage properly.

What should I use to seal it?

 

easiest thing to do would be to make a plate out of plastic or sheetmetal that you screw into the floor. if you want to seal the shifter dust boot, then you have to figure a way to make a lip to slip it over. or you could use some strong glue and get a bike innertube and cut it so you can glue around with a strip to seal it. if you don't seal it, you are gonna hear some crazy stuff.

 

Someone just told me the Civic Si and del Sol shift linkages are NOT the same.. can someone confirms this for me? He says the Civic Si shift linkage is not plug and play on my aut del Sol chassis..

Got the pedal, master and hydraulic line..

 

i think they are different. like the crx and older ef civics...my guess is the del sol has a shorter linkage? you would use one from a del sol/b16 to be certain or get an aftermarket linkage.

Yup different part #, I just got informed the SOHC linkage is different from the DOHC on the Sol, the civic's linkage is shorter, but since these are the one's I have I am told I can get someone to extend them to fit
