#133912 Well, I suck at mechanics which is why I went to college for autobody repair, I enjoy it more too, but I need this question answered quickly.

Will a Y8 transmission work with a B18 A engine?

#133920 no, it will not

B series engines- b series trans
D series engines- d series trans
so on

there are a few exceptions, but they need an adapter plate (H2B)

Well damn, that seems easy enough. Maybe it would be worth my time sitting down and reading a few mechanic books.

Thanks a lot man.

#133946 Okay, one more quick question. I hate to ask this before I really look myself but it's 4:40 AM and I can't seem to sleep.

So would a transmission from a d15 work for a d17a2?

#139234 I am 99% sure it wont work. Its something totally different, Just like the 87 and older D's.

I know a 92-00 Vtec head wont mount on a D17 block. I am 99% sure the transmission wont bolt up.

Pretty Sure the Only thing compatible is the rods/crank to stroke out a D16 or d15 into a 1.7 liter.
