Tranny Question ?

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

have a good deal on a 92 civic hatchback from a friend of the family
problem is that i think it is probably an auto
anyone know how much work it is converting it to 5 speed ?
how much would the conversion cost ?
can you sell a auto tranny to relieve costs ?

I believe it's anywhere between $1000-2500, depending on difficulty and the cost of the tranny. Remember, a whole floor shifter needs to be put in, which means maybe cutting a hole in the floor of the vehicle and swapping in a new cener console. Best to wait for the same car being sold in a 5 speed. It isn't hard to find a good deal on a 92 civic.

Probably be able to pick up a trany for around 800 bucks.

yah i looked for a good deal on the same car and the lowest price i could find was around the 6000-6500 range and more than 150000 kms
the one i could buy is 3500 and it has less that 150 000 kms
should i just flip it maybe ????

that's a goody deal, but try buysell.com in BC, you'll find tons, if you wanted a std. swap though, it might end up costing you as much as you would pay for one with a std.
BTW, that's an awesome avatar :thumbsup:

maybe you should just get a cheap one and do an engine swap that comes with a 5-speed.

Captain Dirty/Cap_D did and Si 5-speed swap into his auto civic hatch on 403honda.com, so you could ask him.

im really considering buying this car for 3500 then selling it for somthing like 6500 and then take that money to buy a Turbo II FC

Pretty stupid idea to start with...

[legendboy]

that swap is probly not too bad, its a cable tranny not hydrolic. I think it would be pretty tricky tho...

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

Engine swap would be pimp :bigpimp:

Ummm, 92+ Civics came with hydro trannies.

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

That what i was thinkin
91 was the last year of the cable tranny

i think you need to stop thinking about a civic and go for an rx7 liek the one in your sig:thumbsup:

i know how it is to be on a budget though bro and if you want an rx7..any rx7..in decent shape then you have to fork out and pay large..thats why the honda civic is an ever so popular car
