don`t worth it IMO. For the trouble you "might" be dealing with i`d sell it and buy a manual to start with LOL.
how much more are you looking at anyway
BTw please quit being a smart ***
Not every ------- one here drives a civic or integra

We don't hate anying non-Civic or Integra pre 1992. My first HMT car was a 1990 Celica ST (which can be found in the Turbo Projects area), second was a 1991 Integra. I don't see hate there
Do a god damn google search or something on Honda-Tech. You're best option would to find some bellhousing conversion and use a GM tranny. Those new FWD trannies are supposed to be very good.

haha. For real though. Why the hell do you want to build up your auto tranny if you're not wanting some type of race car. Just leave it alone.

Re: How do you build up any Auto Trans. for upped power?
autos suck. my trans am has one and i hate it because i dont have the power on tap like i do with my 4-speed civic. i cant mash on the gas, drop the clutch and move fast. i feel like im driving a ------ 4 banger in my t/a. get a manual and youll be a lot happier with throttle response and movement. plus i think you like droppin the clutch and gettin the ---- out there anyways right

Re: How do you build up any Auto Trans. for upped power?
Yeah it's funny you group us as all driving pre-92 civic/integras. Most of us DON'T. Mine is a 97 civic :P Any pre-2001 honda is better. And a lot of people here don't even own honda's.
Anyway, that transmission sucks. The reason you haven't found anything is because there is nothing to find. I know you specifically asked us not to say this, but I'm going to anyway. If you want power, and drive a honda, GET A MANUAL.

Re: How do you build up any Auto Trans. for upped power?
i have a 97 accord and its an auto. honda auto trannys are weak. by upped power you mean more than 50-75hp, you really cant do a whole lot there besides getting a better cooler to keep the temps down. if you mean to go more than that, i'm sorry you're ---- out of luck and honestly need a manual. it will cost you more anyone should pay to build that tranny to make it safe for high hp.
btw the v6 coupes are hot, especially with a little lip kit and a drop. and btw, yes it is running 240hp 212tq. not too shabby for starters. you just need to get quicker
