Has anyone fabricated a plate or a kit to allow using a d16 hydro tranny into a 91 civic? I've seen some people using the entire hydraulic system from another car but was wondering if there was a simpler way...

I've seen Hasport make it for the b-series but have not seen it for the d-series... Anyone seen it or use it?

 

sorry if your gonna do its gonna be a one off fab job

 

buying a GOOD CRX si tranny = $200-250

Fabbing up all that is needed for a 92-00 hydro tranny = $1000 plus downtime

So for 4 CRX Si trannys that fit, you can have your car in a shop for 2-3 months while a new mount system is fabbed up, and still have less than best gearing.

 

Looks like I'll just be mating the cable tranny to the newer engine then...

 

a friend and i swapped a complete d16z6 with tranny into an 88 CRX standard. used the CRX driver side mount and fabricated up the rear and passenger side mount from pieces of stock mounts.

It was really a pain in the *** and not worth it at all IMO. in order to get the axles to line up, the tranny almost hits the rear subframe. Also, my friend was in a hurry to get it down and out of my garage, so he just made a bracket and hooked his clutch cable directly up to the slave cylinder "arm" on the tranny.. his clutch feels like a '32 ford pickup.

 

1000 dollars? jesus, is that tranny gold plated by you? have you ever fabricated something? I cant imagine it being that difficult to do.

 

modify the pedals, fit a clutch MC, run hyd. line..........

modify the rear subframe crossmember, move the frame mount on the passenger side.

Yes, I've seen it done..........

 

why not buy the b series one and make it fit... there cant be that much diffrence.

 

because a low mileage d16 costed only $475 picked up and it came with a tranny...

Let me say this.... SOHC POWA!

 

Why dont you just get the hasport conversion kit and call it a day
