swapping trannys - 3/3/2005 1:43:06 PM    ilinihonda Posts: 98 Joined: 12/5/2004 Status: offline I finally got my engine rebuilt and installed , it runs great. We had a little trouble with the catalytic converter, so have to replace. We took the 4 speed tranny out and installed 5 speed. All the linkage stayed the same and it works fine. Thanks for all the help on this. 91 Civic Hatch Post #: 1

I did have a bit of trouble ordering the proper axels, but on the wheel end, since there were a couple sizes for that car. The tranny end was no problem. (in reply to Kappa22) Post #: 6

RE: swapping trannys - 3/5/2005 11:38:54 AM    ilinihonda Posts: 98 Joined: 12/5/2004 Status: offline I got an engine and tranny on ebay for 143.00 and rebuilt it( my brother and I). Probably about 450.00 there with the rebuild kit and lots of time. I also ended up getting new axels 50 each, new distributor, alternator, clutch kit, starter, tires, hmm, plugs, and need to get a radiator still for it, the old on works, but I want a nice one for the engine. well all together probably close to 1000.00 but I did the work myself .This is the first time I have ever done this, using a manual helped tremendously. I learned a great deal too, now I feel comfortable with working on my own engine, where in the past I have always relied on my ex to do any motor repairs. Civic 91 (in reply to civic96RB) Post #: 9
