Transmission Advise

Can anybody tell me if a B16A2 motor mounts up to a D16Y8 (EX) Tranny without any modifications?

RE: Transmission Advise

try to get a hydro tranny rather then a cable. it might cost a lil more but there better. and just so you know a b20 transmission will fit a b16, just how a b16 transmission will fit a b18 motor. just make sure its a b series haha..

RE: Transmission Advise

pretty sure b20 tranny is to long for our civics
id go with a b18b or "LS"tranny
the b16 tranny gears are so short
if anything do a hybrid tranny
LS first, GSR 2nd and third LS 4th and 5th
make sure its hydro also
thats the problem im having right now
find a hydro LS tranny confused0036

RE: Transmission Advise

I've been finding some pretty good deals in my area on better platforms so I've since ditched the B16A2 idea in favor of a 99 B18C1. I"m currently offering the guy 2K for a complete swap (Engine/Tranny/Harness/ECU/Axels) Hopefully he accepts my offer.

RE: Transmission Advise

ls trannys suck...plain and simple... the only thing there are good for is saving gas with the rpms being lower than the b16 in 5th gear on the highway.... Just do what i did and have a b16 or gsr tranny with an LS 5th gear... you get all the performance needed gears 1-4, and use that longer LS 5th gear for the highway driving to save gas.. Woot

Evo's are cool, until a k20 walks off on you like you're going backwards
