auto to manual conv

If you really want to keep the Auto go with an aftermarket torque converter, expensive though.

It's two things.. like the he said its the power loss from the drivetrain and its the gearing. Most automotic transmissions are either 3 or 4 spds with OD. And the more gears you have... the less power loss you have because when you shift its going to be at higher rpms already. And its deffinately not when it shifts because you could put it in D1,D2,D3 and D and shift for it.... basically the same thing that drag cars do except a little better with a rachet shifter. They only need 3 gears

Could this be a record? Almost 2 1/2 year old post.

I have a 95 hatchback dx. I found someone who is selling a b16 out of a 93 Sir-II(i am in england after all, and they have jdm cars here) Currently i have an automatic transmission in the car, and i want to keep it that way, but i dont know if the swapped engine will bolt right up to the transmission. Ive looked into this on the internet and i casnt find any information on this. Hopefull this thread is still active and someone knows what i can do.

2)Front tranny bracket---manual has 3 holes for tranny, auto mount only has 2 in different spots
3)Rear tranny mount is a myth---not necessary, auto mount is fine
4)Tranny bolts
5)Flywheel bolts
6)Flywheel cover---not exactly necessary but nice to have--i dont
7)Shift linkage bolts---not just the rods, u need the cup and rear mount and rubber weather seals and u have to drill the holes for rear SL mount
8)the console ring for shift boot to keep it in place---i dont have it yet so my shift boot is just there
9)plenty of other miscellaneous bolts and nuts

if u have no clue how to do this or how things work together, you might wanna take a trip to honda and get alot of diagrams for things....

Ummmm what about axles?......

D series engine will not bolt up to a B series tranny, won't work. However, if you just wanted to keep an automatic transmission for some odd reason, there were B16 that came with an auto trans. Look for one and you may have your solution. Personally, I wouldn't opt for the auto over manual.

Hows that for proving fasthatchb18c1 wrong!?

Come back in a year, and I will post again.

I am willing to bet the guy no longer has the car! 4 1/2 years later, Xnoitareng only has 6 posts. He's outta here.
