The shift linkage is the same, as well as the shifter.

The master cyl, slave cyl should also be the same.

You won't be able to re-use the rear mount bracket but the rear mount itself should be the same as a 92-95 manual mount.

You'll need a rear bracket from a manual 92-95.

You'll also need a 92-95 auto to manual conversion mount for the tranny.

You'll need an OBD1 manual ECU.

- Fri Jun 27, 2014 7:03 pm #346801 One minor thing about mixing transmissions from different Civic generations is that no flywheel cover will fit. You'll probably never have a problem but it bothers me to think about all the snow, road salt, and gunk that it gets exposed to.

- Mon Nov 10, 2014 6:32 pm #349789 if your under your engine where the oil pan is look towards the trans, and you should see a half circle plate covering the flywheel, without that, stuff can get up inside there

not exactly what youll see but it will look like that without the cover and I personally wouldn't wanna risk it...I was apprehensive enough running without an upper timing cover.

- Tue Nov 11, 2014 12:03 am #349804 i ran my car for quite awhile without the flywheel cover before i purchased one from Majestic Hondas website. got some snow up in there a few times and the clutch wanted to slip. rain would cause the same problem too if it was really heavy and deep on the road.

i wouldnt advise going without one on a car you care about

on a side note ive ran my car for the last 40k miles without an upper timing cover. again i wouldnt do it on a car you like.

but its still not as bad as people running their cars without the lower and upper timing cover... last summer at a show i saw 5 out of 6 B series civics running no timing covers at all :eh:

Yeah but he'll have no choice if he puts an EK trans on an EG engine. The flywheel cover wont match the block. For that reason I recommend against it.

yeah id advise against it too.

but i was getting at more of a general information point of view. for others reading this thread. you would probably be surprised how often ive googled something about a civic and found the answer in a link to this site :thumb:
