automatic B tranny

[civickid93]

I was wondering if any one knows if you can bolt a auto b series tranny to a b16a or a b18c motor in a 93 civic. The problem is my car is auto and I want to put a B series motor as opposed to my D15. Do the 94+ GSR tegs come with a auto tranny or can I bolt the b20 crv tranny up and what would I have to do. Please let me know.

I have heard something about a Auto b18. I will try and search for it.

1st generation B16's had an auto option, other than that I only know of the B18A and B18B coming with an auto tranny, and I have no idea if either will work with a B16 or B18. Why not just learn to drive a stick?

Theres your answer. I have an auto, but I also know how to drive stick, I got it cause i used to work in downtown chicago and with the traffic and all then i got into racing, so i think im looking for a trade in soon.

JDM GSR's had an auto, along with SiR/SiRII's call up one of the online motor places, and ask them about getting you one, or if they have any.

The only USDM B-series to come auto was the LS...I know that the JDM B16A came with an AT...I am not sure if the JDM SiR tegs did, I'll trust jcrx on that one. You can fit an LS Automatic, or any of the others, into your civic. Some will tell you it can't be done...etc...but it can. The LS AT is a little big for the civic engine bay, so it takes a little modifiying of the frame rail, more wiring then for the electronically controlled AT...but it can be done.

Thank you every one for your info, the thing is I do want to keep the auto tranny for the fact that i here that doing the 5 speed conversion is a pain in the ass. Its not that i cant drive a 5 speed I just dont want to.

I can tell you right now, converting it to a 5 speed it probably easier, and probably take a little less time. Don't let that discourge you though if you want the auto b-series. As I said, it can be done.
