Tranny conversion

[Doc Jones]

Anyone know what I need to do in order to convert my 91 civic hatchback from 4speed to 5speed? My tranny is on it's way out, and I love my car so I'm willing to replace it, but I'd like to move on to 5 speed. It's a comfort thing. Also, will I need to get a new clutch, and will any of this affect dropping in a b16 at some point? Thanks in advance.

its a direct swap if im not mistaken. if anything a tranny mount may not line up, but someone will clear this up. as far as a b16 swap later is shouldnt affect being that you will use the b16 tranny anyways.

Thanks, I'm kinda new at this hehe. I've got one friend who manages a local Midas (great for sunday work) and another who is a certified honda mechanic, but works odd hours. I'm learnin as I go at this point. I'm sure someone's gonna shoot me, but I've been lookin through the threads and keep asking myself "wtf is a 4g" but hopefully someone will take me under their wing and show me the ropes.

yes it will fit with no problem bolt on, and it wont at all effect your b16 swap later.
